• The issue is: Be concise. In one or two sentences, get to the heart of the problem. Is it a concern, challenge, opportunity, or recurring problem that is becoming more troublesome?
  
• It is significant because: What’s at stake? How does this affect ministry, key relationships, income/costs, family, timing, the future, or other relevant factors? What is the future impact if the issue is not resolved?
• My ideal outcome is: What specific results do you want?
• Relevant background information: Summarize with bulleted points: How, when, why, and where did the issue start? Who are the key players? Which forces are at work? What is the issue’s current status?
• What have I done up to this point?: What have I done so far? What options am I considering?
• The help I want from the community is: What result do I want from the community? For example: alternative solutions, confidence regarding the right decision, identification of consequences, where to find more information, critique of the current plan, etc.
