A scatter diagram — also known as a “scatter plot” — is a graphic representation of the relationship between two variables. Scatter diagrams help teams identify and understand cause-effect relationships between two variables.
For example, after brainstorming multiple causes and effects using a cause and effect (fishbone) diagram, an improvement team might use a scatter diagram to determine whether a particular cause and effect are related.
