Six Sigma Templates

The use of charts and diagrams to measure data and illustrate concepts is an important part of Six Sigma methodology. However, if you’re not careful, you can find yourself spending more time trying to develop these visual representations than working on the actual project. With that in mind, we’re offering several free Six Sigma templates in the Bright Hub Project Management Media Gallery that you can download and adapt to your own individual project needs. These samples are just a few of the many free project management forms and templates available for download at Bright Hub.

A PICK chart provides a simple way to organize and evaluate potential ways to improve an existing process. By arranging ideas on the basis of how easy they are to implement and how big a payoff can be obtained by implementation, each alternative can be placed in one of four categories: Possible, Implement, Challenge, Kill. It is from these four categories that the acronym PICK is derived. The following PICK chart Six Sigma templates are available as free downloads in the Project Management Media Gallery.
