The Green Belt Project Workbook

You finished the Green Belt course. You know what a fishbone and a p-value are. Then you sit down to run a real project and the questions start: Is my scope too big? Can I trust this data? Which test do I run? What do I show my sponsor at the tollgate?

What you get

This workbook walks you through one project, in order. Every DMAIC phase starts with a checklist and ends with tollgate questions. The templates follow in the order you'll need them, the spreadsheet does the math, and a worked example shows a whole project filled in, start to finish.

  • A 40-page PDF workbook, US Letter
  • Is this a DMAIC project? A quick fit check, scoping tips, and when to use a simpler path
  • DMAIC on one page: what each phase must produce, who does what, and where each template is
  • 5 phase checklists with tollgate questions (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control)
  • 18 fill-in templates and pickers: project charter, SIPOC, VOC to CTQ, data collection plan, measurement system quick check, baseline with DPMO and sigma steps, capability, fishbone, 5 Whys, Pareto, hypothesis test picker, test worksheet, solution selection matrix, FMEA-lite, pilot plan, control plan, control chart picker and project close-out
  • A worked example (fictional): an invoice-error project carried through all 5 phases
  • 10 common mistakes that sink Green Belt projects, each with a simple fix
  • 18 AI prompts, at least one per phase, plus a truth check, in the PDF and a .txt file
  • Word templates (.docx, 19 pages): every template as a fill-in form
  • Calculator spreadsheet (.xlsx, 18 tabs): DPMO and sigma level, capability (Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk), Pareto with chart, 2-proportion test, weighted solution matrix, FMEA-lite with RPN, I-MR chart and p chart, plus fill-in tabs

Why it works

  • One project, in order: checklist, templates, tollgate, then the next phase
  • The worked example shows every phase filled in, so you can see what done looks like
  • The spreadsheet uses standard functions that work in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice. Yellow cells are inputs; everything else calculates
  • Every AI prompt tells the AI to use only what you give it, flag what's missing and never invent numbers. Prompt G2 is a truth check
  • Fits office and service work as well as manufacturing. The worked example is a billing process
  • A project workbook, not exam prep. It covers the core Green Belt toolkit and tells you when to get help

Best for: People running a first Lean Six Sigma project after a Green Belt course, improvement leads in operations, quality, service, healthcare, finance or IT, and PMs or analysts asked to "use Six Sigma" on a problem.

Questions

Is this exam prep?

No. It follows DMAIC as it's widely taught, but it doesn't teach to any exam, include practice questions or award a belt.

Will this help me finish the project my certification asks for?

It gives you a structure and templates for running a project. Check your certifying body's current rules for what the project must include and how to submit it.

Do I need Minitab or other stats software?

No. The spreadsheet covers the core calculations. For larger or riskier analyses, the workbook suggests checking results in a stats tool.

Does the spreadsheet work in Google Sheets?

It's built with standard functions that Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice support. Yellow cells are inputs; everything else calculates.

Is the example a real project?

No. The company, people and numbers are made up to show the method. The statistics were calculated from those made-up numbers and checked.

Do I need an AI tool?

No. The prompts are an optional speed-up and work in free or paid versions.

Will AI make up data or results?

Every prompt tells the AI to use only what you give it, flag what's missing and never invent numbers. Prompt G2 is a truth check for any draft. You still check every line.

Is this for manufacturing only?

No. The worked example is an office process (billing), and the templates fit service, healthcare, IT and manufacturing.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If a file won't open, is damaged or isn't what this page describes, email us within 14 days and we'll fix it, replace it or refund you.
