Live Online Six Sigma for Project Managers Training
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
Defects, rework and inconsistent processes inflate project costs and frustrate clients, yet many project teams lack a structured way to find and remove their causes. Six Sigma brings statistical discipline to that problem and fits naturally alongside project management practice. You start with the foundations: variation, sigma levels, DPMO, the cost of poor quality and how DMAIC aligns with the project lifecycle. Define phase tools include project charters, voice of the customer, CTQ trees and SIPOC diagrams.
Measure and analyse sessions cover data collection plans, measurement system analysis, process capability indices, Pareto charts, fishbone diagrams, hypothesis testing and regression. Improve and control phases introduce solution selection, mistake-proofing, pilot testing, control charts and control plans that hold gains. You also look at risk, quality and compliance controls and at reporting results to sponsors. The content is pitched at project managers, quality officers, process owners and engineers in manufacturing, services, healthcare and public institutions. You finish able to scope and lead a DMAIC improvement project and present its results in business terms.
