Or in this case don't ask yes/no questions. Don't give them he option to give the answer they think you want to hear.
What have you done?
What is your next step?

Oh, good advice. Reminds me of another tidbit:
A lot of people will hear "why" as accusatory: "why did you do it this way?!" becomes a question about culpability rather than causality; "what" is (apparently) what you want to use: "what led you to make these choices?"
(it's probably a moving target tho, although one that moves slowly)
Yeah “why” implies internal thought processes. “What” is about external actions.
