Example 1. Fishbone Software Tools for Design Element
Design of Fisbone Diagram begins from the defining an effect or problem and representing it as a fish head. Then you need define the groups of factors that led to the occurrence of a given problem and to draw them as bones on horizontal line - a fish spine. These causes are often defined during brainstorming sessions (we recommend to use the ConceptDraw MindMap for brainstorming). In turn, for each group of factors if needed can be also indicated 2-3 causes leading to the problem. Thus are constructed usually 3-4 levels.
Follow all these steps fast and easy thanks to the predesigned elements of Fishbone Diagrams library from Fishbone Diagrams Solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software.
