Notes 9.3.1.1 Defining the Problem
Suppose that, as a programmer, you are contacted because your services are needed. You meet
with users from the client organization to analyze the problem, or you meet with a systems analyst
who outlines the project. Specifically, the task of defining the problem consists of identifying what
it is you know (input-given data), and what it is you want to obtain (output-the result). Eventually,
you produce a written agreement that, among other things, specifies the kind of input, processing,
and output required. This is not a simple process.
