Definition of a Problem Report
This week you will create a definition of a problem report. The purpose of this report is:

· to determine if a problem truly exits;

· to clarify the complexity and various components of the problem; and

· to allow all involved parties a chance to seek appropriate solutions.

Here are some things to keep in mind about a definition of a problem report:

· It is not a persuasive report, so please do not try to convince your reader of anything

· Changing the speed limit on a particular road

· Upgrading company technology

· Creating a student lounge

· Creating a community garden

You should create a 2-3 page report defining your problem. It must include the following:

· A title page

· Headings that indicate major sections (INTRODUCTION, DISCUSSION, CONCLUSION) and subsections (such as Statement of Purpose, Background, and anything relevant to your particular topic; for example, Childcare issues and productivity)

· Formal language

· Research
