Managers are no longer the only ones responsible for seeing that work is done right and done well. Increasingly, anyone in an organization may be called on to see that an improvement effort is completed on time and achieves results that are worth the investment.

But how can you tell if an improvement or design effort is going well? How can you tell if the right work is being done?

That's where Guiding Successful Six Sigma Projects comes in.

This handy guide can help anyone who takes part in or oversees an improvement or design effort. It summarizes roles, project steps, and key points you need to check throughout a project. Whether you are a manager, project sponsor, Master Black Belt, or Black Belt, you can use this guide to:

• Plan agendas for periodic meetings with a team
• Review the critical checkpoints and questions before or during a meeting with a project team
• Create a checklist or chart to monitor progress of a project
• Determine which projects or efforts are being done well and deserve recognition
• Determine what level of effort and resources may be needed in a project

Project participants or team members can also use it to understand what their managers will expect of them at various stages in a project.
