Why do you think it’s important to follow the steps of the scientific method?

There are five steps included in scientific method:
1. Understand the problem.
2. Search for the required parameters and concept needed for the problem fixing.
3. Design a experiment or hypothesis.
4. Observe and record the data.
5. Analyze the data and give a conclusion.

Since, scientific method is not a prediction rather it is a systematic approach to get the best results with proof by systematic approach, it should have systematic sequence.
Lack of systematic approach may leads to the failure.
