The DMAIC Project Workshop is an in-depth learning experience that covers the what, why and how of Six Sigma Process Improvement. Participants learn a wide array of business skills and tools that drive results-oriented change, and apply them to real-life improvement projects. In addition to a solid foundation in the DMAIC process, the workshop demonstrates how to apply Lean and Six Sigma concepts to issues that arise every day.

Following the flow of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control, the course is typically delivered in two sessions with a three- to six-week interval during which the team makes meaningful progress on its improvement project. (Coaching support is often recommended). The course schedule can be flexed to allow participants to engage with project Champions or executives to validate and gain support for their work.

The DMAIC Project Workshop has the added benefit of being an ideal format for a team-based training. This allows a Team Leader (future "Black Belt") to learn and work alongside his or her DMAIC project team – usually 2 to 4 colleagues assigned to the same project. The team members (usually called "Green Belts") take important management skills back to their regular roles and help spread Six Sigma practices throughout the organization.
