Root Cause Analysis. Part 1: FishBone
-
We decided the most possible cause: Testers do not have feedback from developers
- http://www.xmind.net/m/mNR2
-
The main aim is to determine the root cause of a problem by repeating the question "Why?" Each answer forms the next question.
To search the root cause, you do not have to answer all 5 Why, sometimes its can be less or more
- Remember: do not find a guilty person, try to find problems in process
- If the analysis did not show a sufficient result, use the next FishBone possible cause.
If all efforts have been in vain, try to change your mind and fill new FishBone, try to find out possible cause that were not taken into account earlier.
- Despite the fact that "5 Why" applies to the most possible cause, pay attention to the others and create a strategy for working with them.
Often they help to identify problems in the process, not just about the current problem
