What is a Problem?
• A problem is any unpleasant situation which
prevent people from achieving what they want to
achieve.

• People face problems every day—usually,


multiple problems throughout the day.

• Some problems are more detailed, complex and


critical than others.
• regardless of their size problems need to be
solved in a satisfactory way.

Problem Solving..
• Problem-solving is a plan or strategy used to
find a solution or overcome a challenge.

• People make decisions every day to solve


problems that affect their lives, homes or work
place.

• The better the decisions an individual can


make, the more valuable that person will be.

• Problem-solving is a broad skill set that


includes analytical and creative thinking.

Problem Solving..
• Problem solving is one of the central activities
performed by professional and learners in
computer related disciplines.

• Solving problems is the core of Computer


science and its related disciplines .

Problem Solving Skills
• Problem-solving skills are important in any job,
but especially in jobs that deal with complex
business challenges, deadlines, and changing
variables.

• Potential solutions to these types of problems


can be very difficult to find.

• However, if you have good problem-solving


skills, you will be able to recognize when
something isn't working properly, and you'll
know how to fix it.

Problem Solving & Software Development
• Software Development is the process of analyzing,
designing, programming, testing and maintaining
software systems.

• Software system are usually developed to tackle


problems with manual systems.

• Problem solving techniques and skills needs to be


applied convert the manual system into automated

• Good problem solvers become potential software


developers.
