Project Selection

Select a problem you would like to solve, not a “task” you need to complete. Some questions to ask when identifying a project topic are:

  • What are your “Pain Points?”
  • Where is there variation in your processes?
  • What metrics are off track?
  • What is your defect rate?
  • What throughput opportunities are there?
