Describe the difference between goal and problem statement.

The goal is the desired result or state to be achieved. It answers the question "What do we want to obtain?" and sets the direction for actions.

The problem statement is the set of problems, difficulties, or questions that hinder the achievement of the goal or require a solution. It answers the question "What obstacles or tasks need to be solved?".

For example, if the goal is to improve system performance, the problem statement may include slow request processing, lack of resources, or code errors. Understanding the problem statement helps formulate tasks and choose methods to achieve the goal.
