One of the biggest challenges we face is to get developers to think beyond the PC. Its critical to understand that a software program or solution is designed in the mind and only executed in the PC. One of the attempts we make to impart this way of thinking is by having a few training sessions on problem solving. One is by using “Systematic Problem Solving”. This is a simple 6 point common sense approach.
• Objectives - Identify goals
• Facts - Gather data
• Problems - Define concerns
• Ideas - Generate ideas
• Evaluation - Select solutions
• Implementation - Execute plan
Part of the training involves identifying and solving real life problems. The thinking being that if one can solve these difficult issues, all related issues that come in terms of software programming will be a lot easier and thereby simpler. We’ve devised 10 Rules that help in Creative Problem Solving. You should have your own, but here are ours.
1. Think.
2. Be happy.
3. Be curious.
4. Be passionate.
5. Don’t stand out. Stand apart.
6. If you can dream it. You can do it.
7. There is no limitation to your imagination.
8. Listen to the world. But follow your heart.
9. Using God’s method of creation is a good idea.
10. Don’t follow these stupid rules. Make your own.
