It is also called KT method, used for problem analysis model and can we tailor it to project management.

When solving problems usually we look for the answer to the following four questions:
1.What happened?
2.Why did it happen?
3.How should we act?
4.What will be the (future) result?

Sounds similar to an RCA - Root Cause Analysis

Based on four general principles (from Wikipedia):

-Define and describe properly the event or problem ('five whys' technique).
-Establish a timeline from normal situation until the final crisis or failure.
-Distinguish between root causes and causal factor.
-Once implemented (and with constant execution), RCA is transformed into a method of problem prediction.

Riyadh -

I've neither heard of it nor used it so far. I've used other common methods like Ishikawa, 5 Whys. Please share your experience on the KT method.

Kepner-Tregoe is a problem solving and decision making tool for handling tough decisions and managing complex situations. It will be nice to have some examples on the use of this method.
