Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

The scope section of project charter within the define phase of a Six Sigma project talks about establishing project boundaries, what are the areas, departments, functions, employees group on which the project will be focused. It is very important for a Six Sigma practitioner to document the scope statement so that the customer and stakeholders are clear of the benefit area the project would be focusing on. This well help in setting up the expectations right for both the parties, the six sigma team and process team.

Project Scope – In frame/Out of Frame

This is a visual tool based on the analogy of a picture frame.

It challenges the team to identify those aspects of the project (the

type and extent of end results or deliverables, the people impacted,

timing, product lines impacted, sites involved etc.) which are

“in the frame” (meaning clearly within the scope of work),

“out of the frame,” or “half-in-half-out” (meaning this is either up for

debate, or some aspects are in the scope of work but only in a partial

way.)
