Problem

You are the Engineering Manager for a solar systems business, and a recurring delivery issue has surfaced. Some leaders think the fix is better process, others think it is training, and finance is pushing for hiring. You need to decide which lever will solve the problem with the least waste and the highest impact.

Context

The issue is affecting handoffs, rework, and customer delivery dates. The challenge is to separate a process problem from a skill gap or a capacity gap, then align stakeholders on the right intervention.

Question

How do you decide whether to solve a problem with process changes, training, or hiring?
