Use the 5 whys root cause analysis template and explore the cause-and-effect relationships at the base of a particular problem.

Briefly describe the problem or the challenge you want to investigate.

Think of the results or effects of your problem, would they be positive or negative?

Reach the origin of your problem by asking 'Why?' and describe the situation as open and frank as you can. Keep asking 'Why' until you find out the drivers and conditions that led to the situation you want to sort out.

Review your notes and think if you can fix or eliminate some of the triggers and solve the problem.

Where to next?

Where to next?

  • Review all the symptoms. Is this a complete set? Are they all caused by the same problem?
  • Clarify the causes to make sure they are explicit.
  • Do the causes actually affect each other in the order shown in your map?
  • Do some of the root causes appear more than once?
  • If you can fix or eliminate the root causes, does that actually solve the problem?


Good luck with your investigation!

Hvorfor bruge en Mindomo mind map-skabelon?

Mind maps hjælper dig med at brainstorme, etablere relationer mellem begreber, organisere og generere ideer.

Mind map-skabeloner er dog en nemmere måde at komme i gang på, da de er rammer, der indeholder information om et specifikt emne med vejledende instruktioner. I bund og grund sikrer mind map-skabeloner den struktur, der kombinerer alle elementerne i et specifikt emne og fungerer som udgangspunkt for dit personlige mind map. De er en ressource, der giver en praktisk løsning til at lave et mind map om et bestemt emne, enten til erhverv eller uddannelse.

Mindomo giver dig smarte mind map-skabeloner, der gør det muligt for dig at fungere og tænke ubesværet.

En skabelon har forskellige funktioner:

  • Beskrivende emner
  • Emner med baggrundstekst
  • Standard-gren
  • Fjernelse af skabelondata

Du kan vælge mellem en række mind map-skabeloner fra Mindomos erhvervs- eller uddannelseskonti, eller du kan lave dine egne mind map-skabeloner fra bunden. Ethvert mind map kan omdannes til et mind map-skabelon-map ved at tilføje yderligere vejledende noter til et af emnerne.
