The Five Wives

The Five Wives is a framework used to analyze and understand the key aspects of a situation or narrative by focusing on five fundamental questions: Who is involved? What happened or what is the issue? When did it occur? Where did it happen? and Why did it happen? This approach helps ensure comprehensive coverage of all relevant details, fostering clarity and insight. It’s commonly used in journalism, problem-solving, and project management to gather complete information and inform decision-making effectively.
