How to use the 5 Whys basic template effectively

Follow these simple steps:

Identify the problem: Start by writing down the main problem or concern you are investigating in the designated area.
Use sticky notes for whys: For every subsequent "why," use sticky notes to jot down the underlying cause associated with the previous layer or statement.
Iterate until the end: Continue this process down the branches until you reach the fifth "why" or you have identified the root cause.
Add contextual artifacts: To give a deeper understanding, you can drag and drop any relevant artifacts (documents, images, links) onto the board adjacent to your "whys." With just a few clicks, the template can be easily edited to suit the specific needs of your investigation, making it a versatile tool for various scenarios.
