EVALUATION “You can observe a lot by watching.” - Yogi Berra The evaluation phase of problem solving is often overlooked, but is an important step if you want to improve long–term problem solving skills. By tracking how things went, you can prevent “re–inventing the wheel” with every project because you’ll know what did or didn’t work. Additionally, you can determine if you need another evolution of the solution to take it to the next level. Humor can be a great way to recap your project, identify new opportunities, and record things to do (or not do) for future projects. 146
