NOTE: If you end up with too many bones, you may be doing a "Whalebone" diagram.
This means that the problem wasn't stratified enough using Pareto charts, and it is recommended to re-evaluate and narrow your focus. Once you have done so, use the Outline Medium/Fishbone Medium to perform your Root Cause Analysis.
Updating and Sharing Your Fishbone is Just as Easy!
To revise the Fishbone: go back to the input tab and update your text, then click "Create Fishbone" again.
To copy and share your fishbone to PowerPoint or Word: Click on the "Copy" button, then paste the fishbone diagram as either a picture or drawing object. Pictures are static. Drawing objects can be revised.
To check the logic in your fishbone, click on the Check 5 Whys Logic button.
