Apply the 5W1H methodology systematically:
**Who**: Identify all stakeholders, actors, and people involved or affected
**What**: Define exactly what needs to be accomplished and deliverables
**When**: Establish timing, deadlines, and sequence requirements
**Where**: Determine location, context, and environmental constraints
**Why**: Understand underlying purposes, motivations, and fundamental
importance
**How**: Plan specific methods, approaches, and implementation strategies
Use systematic questioning to ensure comprehensive coverage and uncover hidden
requirements. Address each question thoroughly to build complete understanding
and effective solutions.
