An issue list is a list of issues that an organization has faced or needs to be addressed. Generally there are three levels: the first level is a preliminary list, which lists all the problems that can be thought of according to the classification; the second level is a list of issues around the focus issues; the third level is a list based on the crux points The list of problems is called the problem tree. The question list is a basic link of chain learning and point management proposed by management scientist Zhong Guoxing.

The list of issues is the era's requirements for management. The era of informatization, globalization, and high-tech, every organization must face a lot of new and complex problems. In the face of challenges, it is necessary to understand the problem clearly and have a good idea of the problem. Many organizations are eliminated because they do not have a clear understanding and grasp of the problem. A list of issues for the Organization is therefore the most basic link in modern management. Many successful organizations have a list of issues, such as General Electric in the Welch era, and IBM. It is just that the previous management science lacked generalization and summary in this respect, and did not improve to the height of the basic links and methods of management.

The problem list is a prerequisite for solving the problem. Without a clear list of problems, an organization cannot know exactly what problems it is trying to solve. If it is solving problems, it is also blind and coping.

The way to make a list of problems is to let everyone find the problem, so the list of problems should come from all members of the organization and society. The list of questions for GE and IBM comes from all employees, even customers. The more extensive the source of an organization's list of issues, the more comprehensive it is possible to understand the issue.

Establishing a list of issues is just one part of chain learning and point management. The list of questions is for discussion. An effective approach is to hand over the list of issues to employees, and let them set up various research groups freely and voluntarily around the focus and difficult issues, and study the issues in an equal, democratic, and free way to find solutions to the problems.

The concept of "problem tree" is very high in the list of problems. After finding the problem point, the re-listed problem list is actually a "problem tree": the general problem is the leaves, the focus problem is the trunk, and the problem point is the root. An organization with this "problem tree" is not only well-known, but also well-informed, in order to solve problems in depth.
