There are four steps to using the tool.

  1. Identify the problem.
  2. Work out the major factors involved.
  3. Identify possible causes.
  4. Analyze your diagram.

Why is there a need to understand cause and consequence?

Cause-and-effect thinking, or causality, allows us to make inferences and reason about things that happen around us. Causality helps us understand things as simple as “If I don’t water the plants they’ll die” to things more complicated such as other people’s intentions and behaviors.
