If your team has selected a Team Challenge to solve, the next step is making sure all of your team members understand it. This may require your team to reread a Challenge several times.
When going through a Team Challenge, it is also important to recognize terms such as “must,” “may,” “may not,” “will” and “should.” These words are key to helping you solve a Challenge. Below is a list of quick tips to help you navigate this process.
QUICK TIPS TO HELP YOU NAVIGATE YOUR CHALLENGE
- Grab some highlighters, go through your Challenge and highlight the following:
- “Must” – highlight all sentences that include the word MUST in yellow.
