Fishbone Excel Template Sample
By popular demand, I have created a fishbone template that you can use to create fishbone diagrams in Excel. It’s a pretty simple template, but the bulk of the framework for the fishbone diagram is in place.
All you need to do is to select a given cause on the fish bone and type in the text that applies to your situation. I’ve put together two tabs with 6 P’s and 6 M’s, so you can fishbone in whatever manner makes the most sense in your situation.

Once you learn to use the tool to create a solution by dissecting the problem, you can proceed more confidently with a better knowledge of the underlying root cause, the exact process of finding the solution and the outcome of the scenario. The aim of this fishbone diagram is to make the user capable of tackling any problem with ease. This tool helps you to break tough problems into simpler causes.

The fishbone diagram has a few other common names such as the cause and effect diagram, 5-Whys, and the why-why diagram. These names are appropriate because this tool seeks to find the reasons why a particular event (the effect) was caused.
