1 Identify the project scope and goals

Before you form a project team, you need to clearly define the scope and goals of the project. What problem are you trying to solve? What are the expected outcomes and benefits? How will you measure success? These questions will help you align the project with the strategic objectives of your organization and customer needs. They will also help you determine the size, duration, and resources of the project.

2 Choose the team members and roles

A typical Six Sigma project team consists of a sponsor, a champion, a leader, and team members. The sponsor is a senior executive who provides support and guidance to the project. The champion is a middle manager who oversees the project and facilitates communication and coordination. The leader is a trained Six Sigma expert who leads the project and applies the methodology and tools. The team members are the process owners or stakeholders who execute the project tasks and provide data and feedback.

You should choose the team members and roles based on their skills, knowledge, experience, availability, and commitment. You should also consider the diversity and compatibility of the team members, as well as their potential for learning and growth. A good team should have a mix of technical, analytical, creative, and interpersonal skills.

Pick team members who have the skills and experience needed for the project. For example, if you’re working on reducing defects in manufacturing, include people who know quality control and production. Assign clear roles like project leader or data analyst so everyone knows their responsibilities. The right mix of people ensures that all parts of the project are handled by experts.

3 Train the team on Six Sigma principles and tools

To ensure that the team is capable and confident in applying Six Sigma, you should provide them with adequate training on the principles and tools of the methodology. Depending on the level of expertise and involvement, you can train the team members on different levels of Six Sigma certification, such as white belt, yellow belt, green belt, black belt, or master black belt. The training should cover the basics of Six Sigma, such as the DMAIC cycle, the voice of the customer, the process map, the root cause analysis, the control plan, and the statistical tools. The training should also include practical exercises and case studies to help the team practice and apply what they learn.

4 Communicate and collaborate regularly

Communication and collaboration are essential for the success of any project, especially a Six Sigma project that involves multiple stakeholders and complex processes. You should establish regular and effective communication channels and methods among the team members, the sponsor, the champion, and other relevant parties. You should also foster a culture of collaboration and teamwork, where the team members share ideas, feedback, suggestions, and best practices. You should also encourage the team to celebrate achievements, recognize contributions, and learn from failures.

5 Monitor and evaluate the team performance

Finally, you should monitor and evaluate the team performance throughout the project. You should track the progress and results of the project against the predefined goals and metrics. You should also assess the team dynamics and satisfaction, such as the roles, responsibilities, expectations, conflicts, and challenges. You should provide constructive feedback and coaching to the team members and leaders, as well as reward and recognize their efforts and accomplishments. You should also solicit feedback from the team and other stakeholders on how to improve the project management and execution.

Keep an eye on how well the team is doing and whether they are meeting the project goals. Use simple measures, like tracking the number of defects reduced or how much time is saved. For example, if the project is falling behind, figure out why and make adjustments. Regular checks help keep the project on track and allow for quick fixes if things aren’t going as planned.

Choose SAFe Agile if you're in software! Six Sig is antiquated unless you are in Manufacturing or Physical Production. Lean will alway be fashionable beyond Toyota.
