General solving tips

Let's start with a set of general tips on tackling, organizing, and structuring your solution. We have come across many examples in the previous chapters. Let's go through a few more.

Go through the scenario and annotate first

This is something we've repeated many times in previous chapters. Before you start with your incremental solving, go through the whole scenario, take notes, and add annotations next to each requirement.

You won't get a printed version of the scenario on a virtual review board. You will get an editable Word document instead. You can highlight sections and add annotations on the Word document directly. You can also use different colors to annotate various topics, for example, potential LDVs.

This activity should help you during both the incremental solving and the catch-all presentation stages. The review board scenarios are complex and lengthy (as you have experienced yourself in the previous four chapters)...
