## Lazy Sunday..
..is always good for a nice, slow read and today was not an exception. While sipping a cup of coffee I have read an article by [Glen Alleman - Root Cause Analysis](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/root-cause-analysis-glen-alleman-jugoc/) and had an idea to create ChatGPT bot to provide guidance on finding RCA.

Here I present you [SHAO-2](https://chat.openai.com/g/g-Dz5DzrR1i-shao-2). Please let me know about your success or any issues - would be interesting to see if that helps. 

There is also a good article on DEV as well: [The Importance of Root Cause Analysis](https://dev.to/caffiendkitten/the-importance-of-root-cause-analysis-757).

## Bonus: 

..not totally unrelated to the topic a method and project management (non existing) software ideas, generated by SHAO-2:
