The 5 Whys technique is a simple yet powerful problem-solving tool that helps uncover the root cause of an issue. It works by asking "why?" repeatedly after each answer, going deeper each time until you identify the core problem. The idea behind it is that the first answer may only address a symptom of the issue, not the underlying cause. By continuing to ask "why?" you peel back layers, much like peeling an onion, until you reach the fundamental cause.
This technique is widely used because of its simplicity and effectiveness in identifying issues without requiring complex tools or data. It encourages a deeper understanding of a problem and fosters collaboration among team members, as everyone contributes to finding the root cause.
