      #1

      The pre-engagement week is when a team develops their solution and tests it out on the client. It is rare for teams to have this week, as it requires the entire team to be in the office for the entire week.

      #2

      During the research phase, each member of the team writes down any issues they think affect the client. The team generates over 140 post-it notes, which they can organize in any order. The aim is to capture all possible issues affecting the client.

      The group uses this discussion to test if the key question presented by the client is indeed the key question they need to answer. Sometimes clients raise the wrong question, which the client thinks must be answered. The team tests to see if this is the right question.

The second is whether the questions are sufficiently separated so that changing the variables that impact one question will have no impact on another question.
