The effects of identifying the problems and selecting the central problem that

a matrix in which problems are compared based on relevant criteria for the
implementation, such as relevance, viability, and impact.
This step is essential for two reasons: on one hand, the selection of
the central problem allows for a much more efficient processing of the plan; and on the other hand,
allows for a process of successive approximations that involves the analysis of
situation, since this can only be carried out around a problem or core of
problems.
This step allows for an effective project design, as it helps to narrow down
a list of problems to a single prioritized problem. Likewise, it allows

to launch the project. On one hand, human resources are considered,

project. On the other hand, external aspects are considered, such as the
social, legal, environmental viability, as well as favorable behavior or
unfavorable for the agents who will be affected in one way or another by the execution
of the project.
3. Incidence. It is the weight that each of the problems has in the solution of the
others.
The level of incidence is analyzed through the question: If we solve the
problem X, to what extent will the other problems be solved?
Based on these criteria, the identified problems are prioritized.
