Questions about Fishbone Diagram Maker

What is a fishbone diagram?

A fishbone diagram, also called an Ishikawa diagram, groups possible causes around one effect so a team can investigate root causes systematically.

How do I make a fishbone diagram?

Name the effect and list likely cause categories. Toft arranges the causes into a structured diagram you can refine.

What categories should I use?

Use categories that fit the problem. Common choices are people, process, product, technology, environment, measurement, or market factors.

Can I edit the causes later?

Yes. Causes and categories are editable structure, not a flat image.
