Problem statement Template

Strategyintermediate

Define the problem, impact, root cause & success criteria.

Articulate a problem clearly by defining who it affects, what the measurable impact is, what's currently causing it, and what success looks like when it's solved. A crisp, agreed-upon problem statement ensures the entire team is solving the same problem before jumping to solutions — one of the most common and costly mistakes in product development. Use this at the start of any design sprint, product initiative, or business challenge.
