Creating a storyboard for your Lean Six Sigma project is an excellent way to communicate about the project, method and results to the wider organization. It allows you to tell the story of the improvement project from beginning to end, pass on your learnings, challenges, ‘Aha!’ moments and any aspects of your solution that could be of benefit elsewhere in the organization. Storyboards are used as evidence for certification (e.g. Green Belt or Black Belt) and also support project tollgate reviews.
