FMEA Analysis Templates
Miro's FMEA analysis templates help you identify and address potential risks effortlessly. Whether you're evaluating processes, improving quality, or mitigating failures, these templates provide a clear structure to assess impact, likelihood, and prioritize actions for better decision-making and enhanced reliability.
5 Whys Template
Works best for:
Design Thinking, Operations, Mapping
Ready to get to the root of the problem? There’s no simpler way to do it than the 5 Whys technique. You’ll start with a simple question: Why did the problem happen? Then you’ll keep asking, up to four more times, until the answer becomes clear and you can work toward a solution. And Miro’s features enhance the approach: You can ask team members questions in chat or @mention them in comments, and use color-coded sticky notes to call out issues that are central to the problem at hand.
FMEA Analysis Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Strategic Planning, Software Development
When you’re building a business or running a team, risk comes with the territory. You can’t eliminate it. But you CAN identify it and mitigate it, to up your odds of success. Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a powerful tool designed to help you manage risk and potential problems by spotting them within a process, product, or system. And you’ll spot them earlier in your process—to let you sidestep costly changes that arise late in the game or, worse, after they’ve impacted your customers and their experience.
Action Priority Matrix Template
Works best for:
Mapping
You and your teammates probably have more ideas than resources, which can make it difficult to prioritize tasks. Use an Action Priority Matrix to help choose the order in which you will work on your tasks, allowing you to save time and money and avoid getting bogged down in unnecessary work. An Action Priority Matrix is a simple diagram that allows you to score tasks based on their impact and the effort needed to complete them. You use your scores to plot each task in one of four quadrants: quick wins, major projects, fill-ins, and thankless tasks.
Impact/Effort Matrix Template
Works best for:
Project Management, Strategic Planning, Prioritization
Growing organizations have countless to-do’s and only so many hours in a day (or weeks before a big launch) to get them done. That’s where an impact effort matrix comes in. It gives you a quick visual guide to help prioritize your tasks and know exactly what’s worth doing. Using our template, you can create a matrix that organizes your activities into four main categories: quick wins that are low effort, effort-intensive projects that provide long-term returns, fill-ins that are low effort but low value, and time-wasters.
Cause and Effect Diagram Template
Works best for:
Diagramming
The Cause and Effect Diagram Template is a useful tool for analyzing complex relationships, identifying root causes of problems, and improving organizational processes. It can be customized to fit user's unique needs and provides a structured framework for analysis. Teams can use real-time collaborative analysis on the Miro platform to drive continuous improvement initiatives.
MoSCoW Matrix Template
Works best for:
Ideation, Operations, Prioritization
Keeping track of your priorities is a big challenge on big projects, especially when there are lots of deliverables. The MoSCoW method is designed to help you do it. This powerful technique is built on a matrix model divided into four segments: Must Have, Should Have, Could Have, and Won’t Have (which together give MoSCoW its name). Beyond helping you assess and track your priorities, this approach is also helpful for presenting business needs to an audience and collaborating on deliverables with a group of stakeholders.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic method for evaluating processes to identify where and how they might fail and assessing the relative impact of different failures. Our FMEA analysis templates help you streamline this process, making it accessible and efficient for teams of all sizes. These templates are perfect for professionals, especially beginners, who are looking to implement FMEA in their workflows. With Miro's visual capabilities, teams can collaborate seamlessly and visually map out potential risks and their mitigations.

How to use the FMEA analysis templates in Miro
Select the template: Start by choosing the FMEA analysis template from Miro's template library.
Define the scope: Clearly outline the process or product you are analyzing. This step sets the stage for a focused and effective FMEA.
Identify potential failure modes: Use sticky notes to list all possible ways the process or product could fail. Engage your team in brainstorming to ensure comprehensive coverage.
Assess the effects: For each failure mode, describe the potential effects on the process or product. This helps in understanding the impact of each failure.
Determine the causes: Identify the root causes of each failure mode. This step is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies.
Evaluate the risks: Use dot voting to prioritize the failure modes based on their severity, occurrence, and detection. This helps in focusing on the most critical risks.
Develop action plans: Create action plans to address the high-priority risks. Assign responsibilities and set deadlines to ensure timely implementation.
Review and update: Regularly review the FMEA analysis to incorporate new information and ensure that the action plans are effective.
By following these steps, teams can use Miro's FMEA analysis templates to perform comprehensive risk assessments and create effective mitigation strategies. This approach not only enhances the quality and reliability of their processes and products but also encourages a culture of continuous improvement and proactive problem-solving.
Miro's FMEA analysis templates empower teams to thrive by providing a structured yet flexible approach to risk management. With Miro, you can turn complex risk assessments into collaborative and engaging activities, driving better outcomes for your projects.
