Variable Analysis problem solving method

Solve the hardest technical problems to root cause without guessing.

This book is about problem-solving: not solving regular problems, but hard problems. These are problems with many possible root causes and have persisted because people try to tackle hard problems the same way they approach simple problems.

If you want to solve hard problems with elegant, simple solutions, you need to develop the required skills. Variable Analysis is a method that will help you become an excellent problem solver.
