Comment on How to Run a 5 Whys (with Humans, not Robots)

Comments

The summarised version: 1. Mistakes happen and will always happen. Saying "it wont happen again" doesn't fix the problem. 2. Make a joke to stop people getting defensive.

3. Plan for a future in which we remain as stupid as we are today. 4. Pick broad fixes over root cause fixes.

It makes me wonder what the 5 whys are. :)
