1.Do we have a problem?(identify)

2.What is the precise nature of our problem? (define, clarify, confirm/disconfirm inferences) 

3.Why does the problem exist, & what can we do about it? (hypothesis & solution)

4.What are the actual elements of our plan? (Action Plan)

5.Is our plan being implemented, & is it working? (evaluate & revise plan)
