Problem Driven Development - how to define a technical roadmap based on problems

The article discusses an approach called Problem-Driven Development (PDD). The author emphasizes that PDD focuses on understanding real problems rather than adhering to technological filters or methodologies. A key premise is to grasp the deep nature of the problem before seeking solutions. This allows development teams to create software that is more user-centered, leading to greater acceptance and usability of products. Finding and defining the problem is the first step before entering the design phase, where ideas for solutions are conceived and tested. This approach requires teams to have critical thinking and creativity skills, which can yield significant benefits for IT projects and the end user who finds true value in the developed product.
