Five whys template for PowerPoint
Ask why a problem happened, then why that happened, until the root cause appears.
Free: it uses no credits. You get your own copy to edit, in the look you pick here.
Or fill it in from your files. Attach your documents, notes or data and Claravo writes each part of the Five whys from them, with its source. A part your files say nothing about keeps its question rather than a guess. This uses AI and counts as one creation.

When to use it
Use it after an incident or a missed target, to fix the cause rather than the symptom.
How to use it
- Make your own copy. It opens in the editor, where you can change the theme and edit anything.
- Fill in the fields below, and answer the question each slide asks with your own content and numbers.
- Download it as an editable PowerPoint file, or as a PDF. The file is reopened and checked before it is offered.
Slide by slide
- [subject] Five whys · [date]
- What this analysis must answer Which decision does this Five whys inform? Who will act on it, and by when? Which sources is it drawn from?
- Five whys The problem, First why, Second why, Third why, Fourth why, Fifth why, Root cause
- What follows Which parts matter most, and why? How do the parts connect? What will we do differently because of this?
- Next steps The decision this analysis asks for.
Fields to fill
Fill them once in the editor, or from a spreadsheet to make one copy per client. Where a slide needs content, it asks the question it must answer instead of showing a made-up answer.
