A solution to a problem is rarely as simple as just solving it in one go without any thought or process. It requires planning and ample amounts of time to properly solve a problem and prevent issues from popping up in the future. It can also be very common that an engineer will have some sort of constraints, whether it be physical design constraints, or monetary ones. Typically a good way to go about finding a solution would be to divide the main problem into sub-goals that can be easily managed and solved piece-meal, lightening the overall load at any given time.
