T2: The Explore Phase

The Explore section is the start of your project. You need to explain to the reader what the Problem is and ask a lot of questions that will guide you towards coming up with a good solution. Brainstorming is a good method to accomplish this and Spider Diagrams are a good way to present the information. Try to consider as many different aspects of the problem as possible. You will need to use Divergent Thinking to help you achieve this.
