Objectives become multidimensional.

Interesting common patterns

Suppose you are executing a project A and your original objective was B.

As I was doing it, I thought, "Oh, with this Project A, I can achieve Objective C at the same time! [Killing two birds with one stone! An epiphany comes to me.

Then the purpose of Project A is somehow replaced with "B and C".

A situation arises where, for a certain problem D in project A, there are two solutions, E and F. Given objective B, E is better, but given objective C, F is better.

Due to the fact that the objective has somehow become multidimensional, it takes time to think about whether to choose option E or F.

Should we remember that the objective of the project is not "B and C" but "B is the objective, and it is BETTER if C can be achieved together, but not MUST"?

In some situations, it is possible to pivot the project objective to C.

"I'm having trouble with problem D!" What about solution E? "That won't help me achieve my objective C!" "Oh, so C is your objective, then how about a solution F?" Then, I think the solution F would be better. If you haven't decided which is the main one, you won't be able to decide until you find a solution that can satisfy both.
