  • I am not too familiar with the Six Sigma tool, but I understand that it’s very beneficial to have within an industry that mass produces. When it comes to the Project Planning Process, the Six Sigma tool without a doubt would be integrated with Risk Management. From the lecture Risk Management is done in rounds, and the first round is done in the Project Planning Phase. Risk management is all about exploring methods to deal with risks whether it’d be avoiding, mitigating, or even accepting the risk itself. Usually I would assume that most companies would mitigate the risk in order for the Planning phase to go through. Six Sigma is a set of tools and techniques for improvement on processes like business and manufacturing by improving the quality of output of a process by discovering and removing errors and mitigating variation. Doing most of the risk management with the utilization of six sigma during project planning can save a lot of time on problems in the future whether the product is already produced or is still going through risk management.
