Fishbone Diagram by Dave Westgarth
The Fishbone Diagram is a powerful visual tool used to identify and analyze the root causes of a problem or issue.
It gets its name from its shape, which resembles the skeleton of a fish. The diagram helps teams brainstorm and organize potential causes into categories, making it easier to understand the underlying factors contributing to the problem.
In this Fishbone Diagram frame, you can collaborate with your team to investigate the causes of a specific problem or dysfunction. Start by identifying the main problem or symptom in the 'Our current problem' section. Then, use the 'Causes' branches to list the potential root causes that could be contributing to the problem.
To dive deeper into each cause, you can use the 'Sub-cause' branches to break them down further. This allows you to explore different aspects or factors related to each cause. By visually mapping out the causes and sub-causes, you can gain a better understanding of the complex relationships between them.
The Fishbone Diagram frame in Miroverse provides a collaborative space for your team to brainstorm, analyze, and discuss the root causes of a problem. It encourages cross-functional collaboration and helps generate insights that can lead to effective solutions and improvements.
Remember to involve your team members in the process, as their diverse perspectives and expertise can contribute to a comprehensive analysis. Once completed, the Fishbone Diagram can serve as a valuable reference and guide for problem-solving and decision-making.
Feel free to customize this frame to fit your specific needs and adapt it to different projects or situations. Happy analyzing!

Desk Research, Product Management
A user interview is a UX research technique in which researchers ask the user questions about a topic. They allow your team to quickly and easily collect user data and learn more about your users. In general, organizations conduct user interviews to gather background data, to understand how people use technology, to take a snapshot of how users interact with a product, to understand user objectives and motivations, and to find users’ pain points. Use this template to record notes during an interview to ensure you’re gathering the data you need to create personas.
Product Backlog Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Kanban Boards, Product Management
Development teams are often juggling many products at once. A product backlog is a project management tool that helps teams keep track of projects in flight as they build and iterate, so you can store everyone's ideas, plan epics, and prioritize tasks. The highest-priority tasks are at the top of the product backlog, so your team knows what to work on first. Product backlogs make it easier for teams to plan and allocate resources, but it also provides a single source of truth for everyone to know what development teams are working on.
Technology Roadmap Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Roadmaps, Agile Workflows
A technology roadmap helps teams document the rationale of when, why, how, and what tech-related solutions can help the company move forward. Also known as IT roadmaps, technology roadmaps show teams what technology is available to them, focusing on to-be-scheduled improvements. They allow you to identify gaps or overlap between phased-out tech tools, as well as software or programs soon to be installed. From a practical point of view, the roadmap should also outline what kinds of tools are best to spend money on, and the most effective way to introduce new systems and processes.
Project Scope Template
Works best for:
Project Management, Decision Making, Project Planning
A project scope helps you plan and confirm your project’s goals, deliverables, features, functions, tasks, costs, and deadlines. A project manager and team should develop a project scope as early as possible, as it will directly influence both the schedule and cost of a project as it progresses. Though project scopes will vary depending on your team and objectives, they generally include goals, requirements, major deliverables, assumptions, and constraints. Aim to include the whole team when you create a project scope to ensure everyone is aligned on responsibilities and deadlines.
