Abstract
To frame a research project, you have to specify its research goal (Sect. 2.1). Because a design science project iterates over designing and investigating, its research goal can be refined into design goals and knowledge goals. We give a template for design problems in Sect. 2.2 and a classification of different kinds of knowledge goals in Sect. 2.3.
