Hah, good point. Although, you know what they say, 'if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.' Maybe we need to step back and look at the bigger picture with some good old-fashioned risk management.

Yeah, but the Kano model is more about understanding customer needs, not necessarily the internal issues causing the delays. I'd go with variance and trend analysis to get a clearer picture of where the problems are coming from.

Maybe combining variance and trend analysis with risk management would give a comprehensive understanding of the issues and possible solutions.

However, I think risk management could also be beneficial in addressing any potential risks that could further delay the product release.

That's true, a fishbone diagram could provide a visual representation of the various factors affecting the product release.

But wouldn't using a fishbone diagram also be helpful in determining the factors contributing to the delays?

I'm not so sure about that. Wouldn't the Kano model be more useful here? It could help the team understand what features and processes the customers really value, you know, the ones that are worth prioritizing.

Hmm, this is an interesting one. I think the team should use a Fishbone diagram to really dig into the root causes of those long delays. It's a great tool for visualizing all the potential factors at play.
