- Most important step( repeat 2-3 times if necessary.
- This can be done mathematically or visually, be aware for edge cases
- look for ways to simplify, like using a loop..
- In plain english write out your process without any syntax
- Line by line break it down further and translate it into code
- Lastly pass over your and make any final refactoring or optimizing
- Many people under value there time
- Being busy does not translate to successful
- Prioritize things in your life that take time to maximize your potential
- Time will continue to pass, it does not wait for you
- The higher your value, the more and productive you will be
- Have a framework
- If you can explain the problem in plain english then you understand what is being asked
- Take the time to plan your approach, Write down steps
- Break the main problem down into sub problems
- Debug - go line by line through code
- take a step back and try to think differently about your solution
- Try googling and using online resources
- Practice solutions as regular as possible
-By Ron Bialek, Grace L. Duffy, and John W. Moran
-The five whys and five hows constitute a questioning process designed to drill down into the details of a problem or a solution and peel away the layers of symptoms. -The technique was originally developed by Sakichi Toyoda. He states “that by repeating why five times, the nature of the problem as well as its solution becomes clear.” -The five whys are used for drilling down into a problem and the five hows are used to develop the details of a solution to a problem. -Both are designed to bring clarity and refinement to a problem statement or a potential solution and get to the root cause or root solution.
- When we want to push a team investigating a problem to delve into more details of the root causes, the five whys can be used with brainstorming or the cause-and-effect diagram.
- The five hows can be used with brainstorming and the solution-and-effect diagram to develop more details of a solution to a problem under consideration.
- Both methods are techniques to expand the horizon of a team searching for answers. These two techniques force a team to develop a better and more detailed understanding of a problem or solution.
- Draw a box at the top of a piece of flip chart paper and clearly write down the problem or solution to be explored.
- Below the statement box draw five lines in descending order.
- Ask the “Why” or “How” question five times and write the answers on the lines drawn from number one to five.
