Five Whys Version B

Use the standard Five Whys approach below.

  • State the problem.
  • Ask why repeatedly until a plausible root cause is identified.
  • Stop when the analyst believes the underlying cause has been found.

Do not include alternative hypotheses, evidence tables, or confidence sections.
