DOQS SIX SIGMA SERIES

Six Sigma Project Management

This workshop class covers the skills and activities required of Six Sigma project managers and project leaders. It is intended for individuals pursuing Six Sigma projects who do not have general project leadership experience. Six Sigma projects require the same level of management and control as any other project, sometime more because of the cross-organizational and cross-functional nature of many quality improvement initiatives. This workshop helps assure that appropriate project management controls can be used in successfully executing projects based on the Six Sigma lifecycles.
