About the FMEA Analysis Template

The FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) Template is a powerful, systematic method used to identify potential product or process failures, determine their causes and effects, and prioritize actions to mitigate risk. Its primary goal is to prevent issues before they can occur, ensuring higher reliability and quality.

How to use this template

The FMEA analysis systematically moves through six key stages:

1. Detect a failure mode: Identify every potential way a product or process could fail.
2. Severity number (S): Quantifies the impact of the failure based on its seriousness (e.g., 1-10 scale).
3. Probability of occurrence (O): Quantifies the frequency of the failure by estimating how likely it is to happen (e.g., 1-10 scale).
4. Likelihood of detection (D): Quantifies the visibility of the failure by assessing how easily it can be detected before reaching the customer (often inversely ranked).
5. Risk Priority Number (RPN): The overall risk score is calculated ($S \times O \times D$). A higher RPN indicates a higher risk that requires attention.
6. Recommended action: Create an action plan to mitigate risk, specifically targeting failure modes with the highest RPN scores.

SOAR Analysis Template

Miro

The SOAR Analysis template prompts you to consider your organization’s strengths and potential to create a shared vision of the future. The SOAR Analysis is unique in that it encourages you to focus on the positive rather than solely identifying areas for growth. SOAR stands for Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results. To use the template, examine each category through a positive lens. Perform a SOAR Analysis whenever you want to bring people together and encourage action.

AARRR Template

Miro

Sometimes called “Pirate Metrics” because of the name (go ahead, say it, it’s fun), AARRR is a valuable approach for startups to consider. That’s because AARRR stands for Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Referral, and Revenue—five key types of user behavior that are highly measurable and drive growth. Ask and answer the right questions around each of these five factors, and you’ll be able to establish clear goals and identify the best steps to help reach them.

HEART Framework Template

Miro

Happiness, Engagement, Adoption, Retention, and Task Success. Those are the pillars of user experience — which is why they serve as the key metrics in the HEART framework. Developed by the research team at Google, this framework gives larger companies an accurate way to measure user experience at scale, which you can then reference throughout the product development lifecycle. While the HEART framework uses five metrics, you might not need all five for every project — choose the ones that will be most useful for your company and project.
