Fishbone diagram

The fishbone helps collect causes systematically instead of stopping at the first one.

  • head: the problem, described measurably if possible
  • bones: the six classic categories – rename them when others fit better
  • sticky notes for causes

Then mark the most likely causes and check them with data. Goes well with the incident postmortem.
