| Make sure that you have found the root cause of the Stakeholder's problem or need. Often, Stakeholders define solutions
 |
| rather than stating the problem that they are experiencing or the pain they are experiencing. Subsequently, they may
 |
| not have identified the problem correctly or the correct solution for it.

 |
| For example, "We can't support customers who want to buy online" is better than "We need an on-line purchasing system".
