Story Telling - Problem Solving Approach

Challenge  Story telling is a great tool that I am using in my current role where I am part of reporting and analytics team where I  follow the Scrum Project Management to follow a structured problem solving approach. I work with different  stakeholders to solve their problems to help them run business smooth. I need to come up with the best approach  to the problem as every problem is different for each stakeholder and I need to give them the best suited solution to  their problems.   The project requires to coordinate with stakeholders to understand the problem and the outcome they are  expecting as people who face problems every day are the ones who hold the key to their answer but IT has to  understand the problem first before going for the search of solution. I Need to groom IT about the problem  statement and propose the best suited solution which considers desirability, feasibility and viability.

Selection   I came across several design thinking activities which made me confident to try the Story telling to get better  outcome in my problem solving approach. This is going to help me broadly with the different teams       Application   We wanted to structure the list of problems, propose solutions, and monitor processes to implement the same  through Scrum project management (e.g., time boxed, daily, specific meetings, reviews, etc.) in an effort to become  more agile. This tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the main causes of our workflow  challenge. We started documenting the problems in the structured manner, grooming IT about the problem with the  help of story telling and some data simulation and then discussion starts over the best suited solution that helps  business to run smooth and get better outcome once IT understand the problem.  We stated following a 15 days cycle of sprint which starts with the Story telling where the IT is groomed and ends at  where the solution is implemented and evaluated.  This tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the main causes of our workflow challenge.  This story telling helped structured the list of problems business faces and communicate better with the IT to  understand the problem statement and best suited solution is proposed. Regular discussion on the problem  statement helped us all to understand the workable area.    Insight & Approach  With the help Scrum Project Management and storytelling now I have creative confidence to follow structured way  to collate the problems from stakeholders and make IT understand the same so that they can propose best suited  solution.  A problem solving approach for people that both diverges and converges as it helps to understand the touch points  and pain points of the user. Thinking outside the box as Designers do, using tools and techniques of Innovation that  include people. I learned about problem centric designs. Project is tracked, progress is monitored, prioritization of  the problem and implementation process, no communication gap and well communicated timelines which gives  better clarity to business as where do we stand.
