Ancient Greek epics typically start in medias res, in the middle of things, and later go on to fill out preceding and succeeding action. You can do this in problem solving. It’s, again, sort of the “ready, fire, aim” approach.

Movies are put together this way all the time. The “obvious” order is

idea—script—producer—actors—studio—filming

but many movies get actors first, then a producer, then a script, etc.

For our example: we can say the middle approach is starting at the point you are right now and trying to use a trial and an error method to improve the team’s performance.
