Root cause analysis

A problem may occur repeatedly because a team does not fully understand its cause. In fast-paced environments, applying a quick fix and continuing with the work may be tempting. 

One of the best ways to identify the root cause of a problem is working collaboratively as a team. When teams build trust, work together to identify problems, and generate actionable solutions, even stubborn, recurring problems can be solved permanently. The Confluence root cause analysis template supports team collaboration, content organization, knowledge management, integration and customization, and security.

What is a root cause analysis template?

Teams frequently encounter problems, whether that is failing to inform stakeholders of changes or overwriting a config file. A root cause analysis helps the team move beyond problem-solving to determine the root cause of a problem, correct it, and prevent it from happening in the future.

A root cause analysis template guides teams through the process of creating a problem statement, discussing its causes, and creating a solution.
