This five-day course takes a hands-on, measurement-oriented approach to product development that provides participants with a toolkit of analysis methods to leverage industry best practices, such as the Design-for-Six-Sigma methodology of Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify (DMADV) and CMMI High Maturity.  This course builds upon basic statistical concepts from the Improving Process Performance Using Six Sigma (IPPSS) course.  More advanced and powerful analytical methods are introduced through short lectures and extensive hands-on practice sessions using problems traditionally faced by new product development teams.  Participants learn a framework in the form of tools, methods, and practices for analyzing data to make more informed business decisions about both project management (quality, schedule, and cost) and process and product performance.

In this SEI-licensed course, practitioners learn a variety of measurement techniques to dramatically improve requirements engineering and solution selection.  Using a hands on approach of advanced measurement techniques to model uncertainty and predict cost and schedule performance.  Practitioners learn to understand basic process modeling and simulation concepts without the theoretical overhead while the course takes modern design of experiments and optimization techniques out of the lab and puts it back into the real world for robust product and process design.
