Six Sigma for Software
Development and Information Technology |
|
|
|
Six Sigma has earned an impressive track
record for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of manufacturing
and service applications.
|
| |
|
Now, software development and information
technology (IT), which have long been plagued by high costs, long cycle
times, low quality and high risk of project failure, are rapidly
becoming the next frontiers in the evolution of this methodology.
|
| |
|
Our Six Sigma for software development
and IT training programs will show you how to use software-specific Six
Sigma concepts, methods and tools to fully realize the potential of your
software and IT investments.

"Great course ... the techniques can
immediately be put to use ... excellent exercises ... really
improved our approach to product specification ... our first project
significantly reduced our backlog of problem reports ... a excellent
blend of concepts and hands-on exercises ... very applicable ... I'd
recommend it" |
