Analyse Problem
This implements the A3 problem-solving format, which is basically a structured one-page template for documenting problems and their solutions. You get seven sections: background, current condition, goal, root cause analysis, countermeasures, implementation plan, and follow-up. It's the kind of thing you'd use when you need to actually think through a recurring production issue instead of just slapping a fix on it. The template uses 5 Whys and fishbone diagrams to dig into root causes, which sounds corporate but actually works well for complex technical problems. Good for when your manager asks "why does this keep happening" and you need to show your work beyond "I fixed it."
