Problem / Symptom.
DISCOVER AND DEFINE THE RIGHT PROBLEM.
Purpose
Understand what issues are causing the problem and what are the effects of the problem.
A problem tree analysis is a visual and systematic approach used to identify and analyze the root causes of a particular issue or problem. In this method, the core problem is depicted as the main trunk of a tree, with its branches representing the various contributing factors or causes that lead to the problem. Each branch is further broken down into sub-branches, delving deeper into the underlying issues. By visually mapping out these causal relationships, the problem tree analysis helps individuals or teams gain a comprehensive understanding of the complex web of factors that contribute to the problem. This tool serves as a foundation for problem-solving, strategic planning, and decision-making, allowing stakeholders to address the root causes and design effective interventions to resolve the issue at hand.
