The key to finding an answer may be to ask the right question. Questions probe the depth and nature of our projects, pushing us to fully define and focus on what the key issues really are. Random questions can sometimes push our thoughts into interesting and unexplored directions. Below is a radomly generated question you can apply to your project. Click in the areas around the question to generate a new random inquiry.

Questions can be straighforward or even bizarre. "How can we do this on half the budget?" is a straightforward question, while "How would we do this if Captain Kirk of the Enterprise was in charge?" is totally off the wall. Both types of questions lead to interesting thoughts and conclusions. Remember that sometimes asking questions won't lead straight to the answer--instead it is a catalyst to generate more thoughts. And more questions!

Hey, slow down! Stop hitting the question link over and over to find "just the right question." We know you're doing it, so just admit it. Take the first question that comes and apply it fully before moving on. Yes, it's harder--and possibly more beneficial.
