Project documentation requirements
The project must have all the slides that was given to you in this template.
You can add more pages if you wish.
Please use font size 12 for text. Smaller = hard to read. Bigger = not enough information.
Presentation
You will have 10 minutes to present your project on the last day of the training. Presentation slides are welcome, however you are free to use this project documentation itself as a background (although it is not very good idea in real life.)
Imagine that you are presenting to your sponsor. So focus on a clear structure, such as 1) Why did we do it? (Link to customer? 2) How did we do it 3) What was the benefits.
Please keep in mind that many people in the audience will not understand your process at all. Use simple words, no abbreviations or technical terms. Test it on someone who has no clue about your work: If he or she understands, then it is ok.
Project scope
You are expected to measure current state of the KPI and provide real numbers. If you are not able to, please talk to me.
You are not expected to validate root causes, implement the improvements or track the benefits, you only need to suggest how you would do that. (Of course, you are not expected but you can still do them).
Project timeline
Presentation on last day morning is mandatory.
Handing in this project documentation (the template) by the presentation day 9:00 AM is mandatory
If your project does not meet all the requirements above, you may be asked to add them. You have 1 month after the presentation to do that.
We are all people. We will not bully you and  give it back to you 17 times to rework all the little details. However, we expect some effort into this project.
You can delete this slide from your presentation 

3. Define: Project charter
Project name
Project sponsor
Project manager
Project team
Start – Finish date
Project description: (Basic description including the reason of the project and the potential benefit. What process is being analyzed? What can be the benefit of improving the process?)
Project goals (Analyze process xxx, measure waste, set goal for improvement)
Project KPIs
Please mention one KPI that will be measured and analyzed during the process-
Excepted benefit
(If you can already estimate what can be the benefit of the process improvement, include it. If you do not have hard benefit estimate, please describe soft benefits of this project.)
In scope
What process will be mapped, in to which detail, for what example
Out scope
What will not be done
Project plan
Please write (3-5 dates + what will be done by the time)
Project risks
Please list potential causes that can prevent you from achieving the benefits.

4. Define: SIPOC analysis of the process
Paste a SIPOC analysis on this page

5. Measure: Data collection plan
Key performance indicator name
Formula (How it is calculated)
How the data is collected
(Observation, measurement, system extraction, survey)
How does the KPI influence EBITDA?
Who will measure it?
How often? How long? Will be measured
(Eg the baseline will be measured
Where it will be measured?
If you have more than 1 KPI, duplicate this table or slide

6. Measure: Current state of the KPI
Add real measurements on this page, preferable in the form of charts
Make sure that at least one chart or data table is included.
Mark the axis and clearly show what is good performance and what is bad performance.
Add at least 1 or 2 sentences of commentary and explanation.

7. Analyze: VSM or Swimlane mapping
VSM or Swimlane (or both)
Add a picture of a value stream map or swim lane in readable font size.
Methodical accuracy of using the symbols will not be judged.
Make it detailed enough to fill the page if possible.

8. Analyze: Waste overview
List all the 8 wastes and list possible examples on this page (these are hypotheses and may not be present in real life, just name any possible wastes).
Use font size of 12 and fill the page. 
Be specific and provide at least 3 examples per waste.
Motion is not only physical motion, but for example too many mouse clicks, complicated system interface etc can be a motion waste.
It is rare that one of the 8 wastes is not present. If you claim this, expect hard questions. :)

9. Analyze Root cause analysis (+ Pareto example)
Paste here an analysis of possible root causes (either in a form of ishikawa, mind map or any other suitable form)
Make sure that you reach 5 levels deep in your analysis
If you have the data, put a pareto chart on next slide, showing how much the root causes occur

10. Improve: Hypotheses for impovement
You can describe it here in text or use impact matrix or other visualisation, but please add few sentences of comments so it is clear for people outside of your company.

11. Control: Benefit tracking and sustainability plan
In font size 12, please answer cover these topics: (you can use more than 1 slide, use visualisation where possible
How will you measure that the project was successful?
How the responsibilities for the new changes will be communicated?
How the changes will be documented?
How will you measure that you sustain the benefits (regular KPI measure) and
How will you implement the principles of short-interval control?
if you plan to add the process KPI to peoples bonuses to motivate them?
