This template provides a visual framework for identifying potential causes of a problem, often referred to as a root cause analysis. It's designed to help teams brainstorm and organize factors contributing to an issue.

Layout & Structure: The template features a fishbone diagram, also known as an Ishikawa diagram. The "head" of the fish represents the problem statement, while the "bones" branching off represent major categories of potential causes. There are four main branches, each with multiple sub-branches, allowing for a detailed exploration of contributing factors. The diagram is designed for iterative addition of causes and sub-causes.

Style: The template employs a clean and modern aesthetic with a light purple and gray color scheme. The fishbone shape is subtly rendered, providing a clear visual structure without being overly distracting. The use of circles and connecting lines creates a professional and organized look.

Use Cases:

• Root cause analysis for product defects
• Identifying factors contributing to project delays
• Analyzing customer complaints
• Troubleshooting operational issues
• Problem-solving in manufacturing or service industries

Key Features:

• Clear visual representation of cause-and-effect relationships
• Easy to customize with specific problem statements and causes
