The Five Y's Principle

In "Root Cause Analysis" there is a rule of thumb that says, on average, it takes five progressive questions of "why?" to identify the core issues of a problem.

Through the Five Y’s Principle, Five Y’s takes the time to ask the right questions to understand your business, its objectives, and core issues. This understanding leads to solid solutions that address the root cause of your technical issues, not "quick-fixes" for the apparent causes.
