agents such as Master Black Belts, Black Belts, or Green Belts are needed to perform the
data entry.
Table 16. Possible Information to Be Captured

• Charter information (title, sponsor, membership, deadline, etc.)
• Description of project in ordinary language
• Project status
• Savings type (hard, soft, cost avoidance, CTQ, etc.)

• Process or unit owner
• Key accounting information (charge numbers, etc.)

• Project originator
• Top-level strategy addressed by project
• Comments, issues
• Lessons learned

• Keywords (for future searches)
• Related documents and links
• Audit trail of changes

• Project task and schedule information
Usually viewing access is restricted to the project data according to role played in the
project, position in the organization, etc. Change access is usually restricted to the
project sponsor, leader, or Black Belt. However, to the extent possible, it should be easy
to “slice-and-dice” this information in various ways. Periodic reports might be created
to summarize results according to department, sponsor, Black Belt, etc. The system
should also allow ad-hoc views to be easily created, such as the simple list shown in
Table 17.
