Methodology Map

 

The Analytical Problem Solving framework helps systematically work through a business problem; however, it doesn’t help us understand which methodology to use.

The Methodology Map will help us as we decide which methodology to use to solve a business problem, and is meant to be used as we work our way through the Problem Solving Framework.
