| <p> |
| One of the simplest ways to gain agreement on the definition of the problem is to write it down and see if everyone |
| agrees. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Ask the group: What is the problem? |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| It is very common to rush headlong into defining the solution rather than taking time to first understand the problem. |
| Write down the problem and see if you can get everyone to agree on the definition. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Then ask the group again: What is the problem, really? |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Search for root causes or the "problem behind the problem". The real problem is often hiding behind what is perceived |
| as a problem. Don't accept the first statement of a problem. Continue to ask "why?" to find out what the problem |
| "really" is. Sometimes the group can be so focused on an envisioned solution that it is hard to get them to formulate |
| the underlying problem. In such cases, it can be beneficial to explore the benefits of the solution and then try to |
| find the problems being solved by those benefits. You can then explore whether or not those problems are "real" |
| problems in the organization. |

| Once agreed upon by the stakeholders, the vision is communicated clearly to all project team members. When the project |
| starts, XP teams often write up the vision on one of the whiteboards in the team's open workspace so it can easily be |
| seen by all team members. After a short time, the team usually internalizes the vision and no longer needs the |
| reminder. |
