Help people understand and respond to your outcomes

Use these extra fields to add additional details to the obstacles and outcomes we created earlier to make discussions with the group more productive.

The problem and the solution

Tell a single specific story that describes why the obstacle is a problem to make it clear why it's important to resolve. Then, tell another story that illustrates how things would work when the outcome is true.
