ITPEC FE Morning April 2018 — Question 75 of 80
Affinity Diagram — categorizing collected information by mutual relationship to clarify problems
An affinity diagram (also called the KJ method) organizes large amounts of unstructured information — ideas, facts, observations — into groups based on their natural relationships (affinity). This helps identify key problems and themes.
Why not others:
- a) Describes a decision tree — examining measures for problems with multiple outcomes and choosing a process toward a desired result
- b) Describes a cause-and-effect diagram (Ishikawa/fishbone) — clarifying causal relationships among complex intertwined factors
- c) ✓ Describes an affinity diagram — categorizing collected information by mutual relationship to clarify problems
- d) Describes a tree diagram (systematic diagram) — sequentially developing means and measures to achieve objectives
Key rule: Affinity diagram = grouping related information together to reveal underlying problems.
