When analyzing or solving a business problem, you cannot possibly understand every detail. You can only identify those functions, or processes, that affect the bottom line. These functions are called critical success factors (CSF).
To identify a CSF, you must ask yourself this simple question: If that function fails, will it affect the overall performance of the business? If your answer is yes, you can then concentrate on fixing or improving that function as opposed to the ones of lesser significance. After identifying CSFs, you also prioritize them when allocating resources. For instance, you give priority to CSFs when allocating time, money, supplies, facilities, and attention.
