problem-framing-canvas

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides users through a structured process to deeply understand and clearly define problems, preventing the common pitfall of jumping to solutions without fully grasping the root cause or stakeholder needs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured Problem Exploration: Asks targeted questions across "Look Inward," "Look Outward," and "Reframe" phases.
• Bias Identification: Helps uncover assumptions and biases that might skew problem definition.
• Equity-Focused: Explicitly prompts for overlooked stakeholders and beneficiaries.
• Actionable Output: Generates a refined problem statement and a "How Might We" (HMW) question.
• Use Case: A product manager suspects a new feature request might be addressing a symptom, not the core problem. They use this Skill to systematically explore the problem space, uncover underlying user needs and biases, and reframe the objective into an actionable HMW statement before ideating solutions.
