Which of the steps listed in not a step on the nine-step approach?
A. Gather data and verify the most likely causes.
B. Determine the most popular solution.
C. Revise the project plan.
D. Evaluate the alternative solutions.

Answer 1

Answer: Determine the most popular solution.

Explanation:

Some of the approaches to problem solving that are listed here include:

• Gather data and verify the most likely causes.

• Revise the project plan.

• Evaluate the alternative solutions

To solve a problem, one needs to gather the data and verify the likely causes of the problem. This can be done by asking questions, running test, interviewing people, running tests, reading reports, or analyzing data.

The project plan can also be revised. Likewise, when one comes with different solutions, one should weigh the cost and benefits of each in order to choose the best solution.

Determine the most popular solution isn't a correct option.
