Example 1. Fishbone Diagram Design Element
Turn attention for the variety of vector elements predesigned and offered by Fishbone Diagrams library. The first step that you need to do when designing a Fishbone diagram is to draw the fish's backbone with a head. In ConceptDraw DIAGRAM simply drag ready backbone object from the library, if needed you can change the lenght of backbone line dragging the green handles on it. Then attach the categories elements to the backbone using connection dots, add the causes elements and type the text. Finally you can add the fish frame fishbone diagram design element and recolor your diagram.
Often for defining causes are used brainstorming sessions. The ConceptDraw Office innovative toolset is also helpful at this question, it offers the specialized ConceptDraw MindMap application for easy brainstorming. Having resulting Mind Map you can then easy output it as ready Fishbone diagram in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM for further work with it.
