Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a systematic process to identify the root causes of problems and devise strategies to prevent them. Unlike other problem-solving frameworks, RCA goes beyond treating the symptoms of a problem and aims to identify and rectify the underlying issues causing the problem. Other frameworks may focus on immediate solutions or symptomatic treatment, but RCA is about preventing the problem from recurring by addressing the root cause.
