Résolution de problèmevignette|Résolution d'un problème mathématique. La résolution de problème est le processus d'identification puis de mise en œuvre d'une solution à un problème. Analyse de cause racine (ACR, Root cause analysis) : cette démarche part du constat qu'il est plus judicieux de traiter les causes d'un problème que d'en traiter les symptômes immédiats. Puisqu'analyser les causes d'un problème permet d'en déterminer une solution définitive, et donc, empêcher qu'il ne se reproduise de nouveau.
Design rationaleA design rationale is an explicit documentation of the reasons behind decisions made when designing a system or artifact. As initially developed by W.R. Kunz and Horst Rittel, design rationale seeks to provide argumentation-based structure to the political, collaborative process of addressing wicked problems. A design rationale is the explicit listing of decisions made during a design process, and the reasons why those decisions were made.
Wicked problemIn planning and policy, a wicked problem is a problem that is difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements that are often difficult to recognize. It refers to an idea or problem that cannot be fixed, where there is no single solution to the problem; and "wicked" denotes resistance to resolution, rather than evil. Another definition is "a problem whose social complexity means that it has no determinable stopping point".
Computer-supported collaborationComputer-supported collaboration research focuses on technology that affects groups, organizations, communities and societies, e.g., voice mail and text chat. It grew from cooperative work study of supporting people's work activities and working relationships. As net technology increasingly supported a wide range of recreational and social activities, consumer markets expanded the user base, enabling more and more people to connect online to create what researchers have called a computer supported cooperative work, which includes "all contexts in which technology is used to mediate human activities such as communication, coordination, cooperation, competition, entertainment, games, art, and music" (from CSCW 2023).
CollaborationLa collaboration est l'acte de travailler ou de réfléchir ensemble pour atteindre un objectif. Dans son sens commun, la collaboration est un processus par lequel deux ou plusieurs personnes ou organisations s’associent pour effectuer un travail intellectuel suivant des objectifs communs. Des méthodes structurées de collaboration encouragent l'introspection de comportements et communication. Ces méthodes ont pour objectif spécifique l'augmentation du taux de réussite des équipes quand elles se livrent à la résolution de problèmes en collaboration.
Problem structuring methodsProblem structuring methods (PSMs) are a group of techniques used to model or to map the nature or structure of a situation or state of affairs that some people want to change. PSMs are usually used by a group of people in collaboration (rather than by a solitary individual) to create a consensus about, or at least to facilitate negotiations about, what needs to change. Some widely adopted PSMs include soft systems methodology, the strategic choice approach, and strategic options development and analysis (SODA).
