There are lots of different ways to improve your processes, and you’ve likely heard of Six Sigma methodology as one possibility, particularly for large manufacturing businesses, like GE and Motorola, looking to reduce defects and improve the quality of their products. But Six Sigma is more than just quality improvement for manufacturing––it’s also a project management methodology.

Regardless of the industry, companies need to develop efficient processes to complete projects and stay relevant. As a project manager, you might feel like your goals don’t fit within a Six Sigma framework. However, you and your team stand to benefit from the boost in efficiency a Six Sigma mindset can create.
