Virtual Lunch and Learn Series | Technique Boutique: Root Cause Analysis

When things go wrong, regardless of the industry, companies often look to business analysts to find the source of the problem. In carrying out their investigative work, BAs often utilize the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) technique to look beyond the symptoms and uncover the issue's true cause. RCA is applicable to various domains, including cybersecurity, data analysis, and healthcare.
