NEED

How to implement

Need
Clearly define the specific requirement, problem, or opportunity you are addressing.

Evidence
Provide data, facts, research, or reasons that demonstrate the existence and importance of the need.

Effect
Explain the potential consequences or impact of addressing (or not addressing) the identified need.

Direction
Outline the proposed course of action, solution, or next steps to fulfill the need.

Example

”So, the Need is for a more efficient way to track our project tasks.

Right now, we’re using a shared spreadsheet, and it’s becoming difficult to manage and keep updated.

The Evidence for this is that we’ve had several instances of missed deadlines and duplicated efforts in the past month, according to the project logs.

The Effect of continuing with this system is that we risk further delays and inefficiencies, potentially impacting our project timelines and client satisfaction.

My proposed Direction is to implement a project management software like Asana or Trello, which would offer better tracking, collaboration, and reporting features.”
