[Tame problems] It is possible to bound the problem and identify its root cause and subsequent effects; the problem’s parts can be easily separated from the whole. [Wicked problems] Every problem can be considered a symptom of another problem. There is no identifiable root cause and it is not possible to be sure of the appropriate level at which to intervene; parts cannot always be easily separated from the whole. [Characteristic]
