A Structured Project Methodology is Important (DMAIC)

The most common mistake that I have seen people make when trying to achieve a goal is that they have no structure to their process. Lack of project structure creates an environment that allows vision to be lost and sub-par results to be achieved. In order to maximize results, you need to have direction throughout the entire project.

There are several popular methods for project management. Even though they all differ in some way, their underlying theme remains the same. In this blog I will explore the use of a method call DMAIC. I will remain high level and will not get into many of the complex tools used. I hope to communicate the mentality and structure of this process. Understanding of the steps that DMAIC dictates will provide a perspective that consistently yields positive results.
