5 Whys

The 5 Whys is a problem-solving method used to explore the cause-and-effect relationships underlying a particular problem. The primary goal of the technique is to determine the root cause of a defect or problem by repeating the question 'Why?' five times, with each answer forming the basis of the next question. This technique is particularly useful for teams in various fields such as manufacturing, healthcare, and software development to identify root causes and develop effective solutions.
