Incident Report Process Root Cause Analysis: Goal = Answer: What happened? Why did it happen? What do you do to prevent if from happening again?
Incident Report Process: Five Why’s Technique Example: Problem Statement: You are on your way home from work and your car stops in the middle of the road Why did your car stop? - Because it ran out of gas Why did it run out of gas? - Because I didn't buy any gas on my way to work Why didn't you buy any gas this morning? - Because I didn't have any money Why didn't you have any money? - Because I lost it all last night in a poker game Why did you lose your money in last night's poker game? - Because I'm not very good at "bluffing" when I don't have a good hand.
