Certified Scrum Master
scrumis a lightweight, agile software development methodology that can be used to manage and control software and product development using repeatable or iterative and incremental practices. Scrum brings the benefits of agile development with the benefits of a simple application. This methodology can significantly increase productivity and reduce time to profit while facilitating empirical and adaptive systems development. Scrum brings together cross-functional teams that are responsible for delivering projects that meet dynamic customer expectations. A team is made up of members from Account Development, Product Development, Project Management, IT Development, and Quality Assurance.
AScrum Masteris a person responsible for setting up the team for success. The Scrum Master organizes the Sprint planning meeting which are short and repeatable work cycles usually from 1 week to 30 days. The Scrum Master also plans the Sprint Review Meeting, shielding the team from external disturbances, holding short meetings known as "Daily Scrum", and removing obstacles that may arise in the project.
Each of these meetings is repeated every Sprint cycle and are each designed to facilitate agile development that meets and exceeds customer expectations. The Product Planning meeting has the purpose of determining what the customer wants, at this point in the process. In this meeting, the client sits down with the Scrum team to design the requirements for what is going to be developed during the next Sprint cycle. It is possible and likely that the client's requirements have changed since they originally signed a contract, but cyclical meetings with the client can ensure that the final version will meet the dynamic requirements of the client.
Not understanding the real needs of customers is probably the most common reason for project failure. Requirements bugs are also the most expensive to fix – these bugs can easily consume 25% to 40% of a project budget.
Agile methodologies like Scrum tackle the problem by using an iterative and incremental approach. The Agile approach has made it possible to work closely with the client, understand the needs and implement the functionality progressively and in collaboration with all stakeholders.
At the same time, one of the main goals of using Scrum with Six Sigma tools is to align business goals with customer requirements with tools that address customer expectations and provide valuable insights to address them. This leads to the conclusion that Six Sigma tools and techniques, if used in conjunction with the agile process, can improve efficiency by identifying the real needs of customers by delivering a methodological application to the activities of the Scrum framework. .

FAQ
According to the Body of Knowledge (BOK) of the American Society for Quality (ASQ) and the international certification programs recognized by Motorola University and the International Society for Six Sigma Certifications, the minimum hour number of the Six Sigma program is: There are a number of Six Sigma programs that are widely marketed and apply only a fraction of the BOK for each level. Acosixsigma is recognized for the large amount of curricular content that applies to all types of industry. For example, the estimated time for a Black Belt certification course is 120 hours, not including additional time allocated to a Six Sigma project. Other providers offer Black Belt training courses totaling 90 hours and Green Belt courses advertised at 56 hours. Therefore the variability in class hours obviously serves as a warning for interested companies to carefully check the subjects when taking a particular course against the established criteria for certification.
A Lean/Kaizen/Blitz Event is an intense effort where the team applies specific Lean approaches to reduce waste, defects, and cycle time and to implement improvements in a particular process or department.
Lean Six Sigma is an integrated set of methodologies that encompasses both Lean and Six Sigma concepts. It combines two powerful toolsets to address all aspects of quality, cost, and delivery. Both sets of methodologies have a customer and quality focus and are based on continuous improvement, which allows them to be very complementary.
Lean focuses on offering competitively priced products and services by eliminating waste and its drivers, while Six Sigma focuses on minimizing and reducing process variation that causes nonconformities.
Lean Six Sigma combines the strength and rigor of Six Sigma and data-driven analysis with the simple tools of Lean to eliminate waste and its drivers. The combination of the two methods provides a more robust set of tools for organizations to apply to solve problems, using the tools and techniques that best suit the specific problem at hand. Rather than the traditional independent use of tools, Lean Six Sigma combines Lean approaches into Six Sigma through the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) method, as well as allowing Lean approaches to be used on their own. in the DMAIC model.
Process improvement is necessary for the performance of an organization that does not meet customer requirements. Lean Six Sigma offers a comprehensive set of tools, techniques, and approaches to enable an organization to gather customer requirements, analyze existing performance against those requirements, implement solutions to address performance gaps, and maintain best-in-class status. The tools and techniques used are the most appropriate for the specific problem at hand.
