What actions will you take to find out the goal? Imagine this situation and simulate it.

To determine the goal in a situation, I would take the following steps:

1. Ask clarifying questions — inquire what exactly the client or interested party wants to achieve, what problems they are trying to solve.

2. Understand the context — find out why this goal is important, what constraints, deadlines, and resources exist.

3. Define success criteria — how the achievement of the goal will be measured, what metrics or results are expected.

4. Model the situation — imagine what the final result will look like, what steps will lead to the goal.

5. Document and agree — record the obtained information and confirm it with interested parties.

Example of modeling:

• Me: "Can you tell me what specific problem you want to solve?"
• Client: "We need to speed up the page loading so users don't leave."
• Me: "Understood, so the goal is to improve user experience through speed. Do you have data on current loading times and target?"
• Client: "Currently 5 seconds, would like no more than 2 seconds."

Thus, the goal becomes clear and measurable, allowing further actions to be planned.
