Fishbone helps find the root cause by organizing possible causes into categories, so the team does not jump to one quick answer or blame one person too early.<\/strong> It is a visual RCA tool used to identify possible causes of a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple explanation for students<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFishbone does not automatically give the root cause. It helps the team brainstorm, organize, compare, and narrow down<\/strong> possible causes until the most likely root cause becomes visible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Problem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Checkout crashes 40% of the time<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Fishbone categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People --------\\\nProcess --------\\\nTools -----------> PROBLEM: Checkout crashes 40% of the time\nTesting --------\/\nDoD ------------\/\nEnvironment ---\/\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Then the team asks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Category<\/th>Possible causes<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
People<\/strong><\/td>Developer rushed, reviewer missed issue<\/td><\/tr>
Process<\/strong><\/td>No mobile testing step, weak release checklist<\/td><\/tr>

Testing<\/strong><\/td>Only happy-path testing, no edge-case testing<\/td><\/tr>
Definition of Done<\/strong><\/td>Story marked Done without mobile validation<\/td><\/tr>
Environment<\/strong><\/td>Test environment different from production<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
How it leads to the root cause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
After listing possible causes, the team looks for the causes that are most likely, most repeated, or supported by evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, the team may discover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
The checkout failed mostly on mobile devices, but mobile testing was not part of the Definition of Done.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
So the root cause may be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
The team\u2019s Definition of Done did not require mobile checkout testing before release.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Fishbone helps us move from \u201cWhat went wrong?\u201d to \u201cWhat could have caused it?\u201d and then to \u201cWhich cause should we fix so the problem does not happen again?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
