Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to score projects in a six sigma prioritization matrix?
Use a consistent scale—typically low, medium, and high—for each criterion. This keeps scoring simple and repeatable across teams. If some factors matter more, apply a weight multiplier (e.g. strategic alignment ×1.5). This adds nuance without overcomplicating the system.
How do I avoid bias when prioritizing projects?
Have multiple team members score each project independently, then average the scores. This cuts down on personal bias. You can also assign different criteria to specialists—for example, let finance assess financial impact and operations rate complexity—for more objective results.
What’s a good number of projects to compare at once?
Stick to 5–10 projects per session. Too many and you lose focus or rush decisions. If you’ve got more, batch them by category or urgency, like safety-related vs. cost-saving initiatives, then score them within those smaller groups for better clarity.
