Five Whys exercise template

Description

The Five Why’s Template is used to explore the cause-and-effect relationships that underlie a specific problem. The primary goal of using this template is to determine the root cause of a problem by asking the questions “Why?” five times. Each answer forms the basis of the next question, until you drill down to the ultimate cause.
