This five-day SEI-Licensed course takes a hands-on, problem-solving approach to data analysis, providing participants with a toolkit of analysis methods and how to leverage industry best practices such as Six Sigma.  Key concepts in data analysis (including statistical thinking, the 7 Basic Tools, and root cause analysis) are introduced through lectures and extensive practice sessions using real-life case studies and project data.  Participants learn a framework in the form of tools, methods, and practices for analyzing data to make more informed business decisions about project and process performance, quality, schedule and cost.

This course provides a practitioner’s approach with practical use of statistics in the real world – not statistical theory and formulas.  The course contains real world examples from the Services, Software, and System Development worlds and provides practical information which turns modest, never-ending improvements into radical improvements within 3-6 months.  This course helps equip practitioners to get at the root causes of business, project, and product problems.
