PMPs many want to be further distinguished by the addition of the credential of Six Sigma in your set of tools. But what is Six Sigma all around, and how does the work of Six Sigma certification?
Six Sigma definitions vary somewhat, but they all involve the concept of quality. At the same time, Six Sigma is a philosophy, a set of tools and a methodology. See different views on the definition of Six Sigma for more details.
In a very formal organization of Six Sigma, there are several levels of participants: Black Belt, Green Belt, Master Black Belt, Yellow Belt, white belt and champions and executives. The American society for quality (ASQ) provides a basic description of these roles on the page "are belts, executives and champions - what does it all mean?".
However, there are two levels of basic certification: green belt and black belt. The American society for quality is the main authority in the field of quality, but there are several organizations that provide training and give their own certification, which stands on its reputation and recognition of the name "Six Sigma".
Green Belt certification is the certification of level of entry for the field. The Greenbelt analyzes and solves quality problems and is involved in projects to improve quality and in a formal sense works under the supervision of a black belt. Green Belt certification is based on Six Sigma body of knowledge (BOK), and areas of knowledge required and covered in the ASQ test contained in a description of the Six Sigma BOK. Applicants for the test requires 3 years of experience within this BOK. See certification of green belt of ASQ for more details.
Black Belt certification is the certification of Six Sigma at advanced level. Black belts have a greater depth of knowledge of all aspects of the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve and control) and other models of Six Sigma processes. In addition, black belts must be able to handle the functions of leadership in the context of the projects. Black Belt certification requires that you complete at least two of Six Sigma projects and submit an affidavit of one project. Knowledge can be found in the summary of the Six Sigma body of knowledge. You can also withdraw the full download of black belt body of knowledge. See certification black belt of ASQ for more details.
