After 20 years with one company, the last 10 as an Ops Director, I find myself in the job market. I am considering pursuing Lean Six Sigma training to open more opportunities. I would welcome any advice on the value of this teainn no ing and credential, what belt I should start with, and recommendations for good training resources. I’ve been successful at driving process improvement initiatives in the past and feel the certification will help me sell my success to my next employer.

Agile seems more relevant than six sigma in today’s market.

Agreed.

The Lean Six Sigma certification is great for process improvement expertise. It also makes you a very competitive candidate, so if you have the time, very much worth the effort!

From what I've seen the order is: White Belt, Yellow Belt, Green Belt, Black Belt, and Master Black Belt. A lot of my friends take classes through Six Sigma Institute or Udemy

I need advice. I moved into product management under a year ago to an early stage startup. The first few months went well, but the last 5 have been chaotic.

It’s happening so much I’m starting to lose confidence in the company/strategy. It’s also causing me anxiety…
