Key Deliverables:

Tollgate Review 
 Is this project important, i.e. has the project been chosen because it is in alignment with 
business goals and the strategic direction of the ‘business’? 
 What is the problem statement – detailing (what) is the problem, (when) was the problem 
first seen, (where) is it seen, and what is the (magnitude or extent) of the problem. Is the 
problem measured in terms of Quality, Cycle Time or Cost Efficiency, or direct financial 
benefits? Ensure there is no mention or assumptions about causes and solutions. 
 Does a goal statement exist that defines the results expected to be achieved by the 
process, with reasonable and measurable targets? Is the goal developed for the “what” in 
the problem statement, thus measured as Quality, Cycle Time, or Cost Efficiency metric? 
 Does a financial business case exist, explaining the potential impact (i.e. measured in 
dollars) of the project on the process, department, division, suppliers, customers, etc.? 
 Is the project scope reasonable? Have constraints and key assumptions been identified? 
Have IT implications been addressed and coordinated with IT managers? 
 Who is on the team? Are they the right resources and has their required time 
commitment to the project been confirmed by Management and Deployment Team? 
 What is the high level work plan? What are the key milestones (i.e. dates of tollgate 
reviews for DMAIC projects)? 
 Who are the customers (internal/external) for this process? What are their requirements? 
Are they measurable? How were the requirements determined? 
 Who are the key stakeholders? How will they be involved in the project? How will 
progress be communicated to them? Do they agree to the project? 
 What kinds of barriers/obstacles will need assistance to be removed? Has the 
development of a risk mitigation plan to deal with the identified risks been developed?

Tollgate Checklist 
 Has a more detailed Value Stream Map been completed to better understand the 
process and problem, and where in the process the root causes might reside? 
 Has the team conducted a value-added and cycle time analysis, identifying areas 
where time and resources are devoted to tasks not critical to the customer? 
 Has the team identified the specific input (x), process (x), and output (y) measures 
needing to be collected for both effectiveness and efficiency categories (i.e. Quality, 
Speed, and Cost measures)? 
 Has the team developed clear, unambiguous operational definitions for each 
measurement and tested them with others to ensure clarity/consistent interpretation? 
 Has a clear, reasonable choice been made between gathering new data or taking 
advantage of existing data already collected by the organization? 
 Has an appropriate sample size and sampling frequency been established to ensure 
valid representation of the process we’re measuring? 
 Has the measurement system been checked for repeatability and reproducibility, 
potentially including training of data collectors? 
 Has the team developed and tested data collection forms or check sheets which are 
easy to use and provide consistent, complete data? 
 Has baseline performance and process capability been established? How large is the 
gap between current performance and the customer (or project) requirements? 
 Has the team been able to identify any complete ‘Quick Wins’? 
 Have any Kaizen opportunities been identified to accelerate momentum and results? 
 Have key learning(s) to-date required any modification of the Project Charter? If so, 
have these changes been approved by the Project Sponsor and the Key Stakeholders? 
 Have any new risks to project success been identified, added to the Risk Mitigation 
Plan, and a mitigation strategy put in place? 
Key Deliverables: 
 Detailed Value Stream Map(s) 
 Data Collection Plan 
 Measurement Collection Results 
 Process Capability Results 
 Current Baseline Process 
Performance 
 Quick Wins, if applicable 
 Identification of Kaizen 
Opportunities, if applicable 
 Refined Charter, as necessary 
 Updated Risk Mitigation Plan 
 Deliverables Uploaded to 
Central Storage Location or

System.

Lean Six Sigma Tollgate 
Template Notes 
The Lean Six Sigma Tollgate Templates are: 
 Free and intended as a guide in documenting a Lean Six Sigma 
Project. I grant permission for you to modify these templates to meet 
the specific needs of your process improvement project. 
 Instructional - a video has been linked to each Template, I selected a 
mix of videos from Thought Leaders in the Lean Six Sigma Group. I 
included reference links to all video’s should you want to learn more 
information. Also included guidelines in the Note’s section of each 
slide. 
 Efficient and Effective – Placeholders for Graphic or Video Examples 
for various tools and methods across each DMAIC Phase. 
How to Use These Templates: 
 Collaboratively – use as a guide, reuse templates independently or 
across phases as needed, and change the order as needed to best 
capture the execution of Lean Six Sigma in each phase, and 
summarize in the final Case Study. 
 Use as a Communication tool, and document your findings and 
results.

Tollgate Review  Is this project important, i.e. has the project been chosen because it is in alignment with business goals and the strategic direction of the ‘business’?  What is the problem statement – detailing (what) is the problem, (when) was the problem first seen, (where) is it seen, and what is the (magnitude or extent) of the problem. Is the problem measured in terms of Quality, Cycle Time or Cost Efficiency, or direct financial benefits? Ensure there is no mention or assumptions about causes and solutions.  Does a goal statement exist that defines the results expected to be achieved by the process, with reasonable and measurable targets? Is the goal developed for the “what” in the problem statement, thus measured as Quality, Cycle Time, or Cost Efficiency metric?  Does a financial business case exist, explaining the potential impact (i.e. measured in dollars) of the project on the process, department, division, suppliers, customers, etc.?  Is the project scope reasonable? Have constraints and key assumptions been identified? Have IT implications been addressed and coordinated with IT managers?  Who is on the team? Are they the right resources and has their required time commitment to the project been confirmed by Management and Deployment Team?  What is the high level work plan? What are the key milestones (i.e. dates of tollgate reviews for DMAIC projects)?  Who are the customers (internal/external) for this process? What are their requirements? Are they measurable? How were the requirements determined?  Who are the key stakeholders? How will they be involved in the project? How will progress be communicated to them? Do they agree to the project?  What kinds of barriers/obstacles will need assistance to be removed? Has the development of a risk mitigation plan to deal with the identified risks been developed? 17 Enter Key Slide Take Away (Key Point) Here Define Phase Success Criteria Training Video by educatevirtually International Standards for Lean Six Sigma (ISLSS)

How large is the gap between current performance and the customer (or project) requirements?  Has the team been able to identify any complete ‘Quick Wins’?  Have any Kaizen opportunities been identified to accelerate momentum and results?  Have key learning(s) to-date required any modification of the Project Charter? If so, have these changes been approved by the Project Sponsor and the Key Stakeholders?  Have any new risks to project success been identified, added to the Risk Mitigation Plan, and a mitigation strategy put in place? Key Deliverables:  Detailed Value Stream Map(s)  Data Collection Plan  Measurement Collection Results  Process Capability Results  Current Baseline Process Performance  Quick Wins, if applicable  Identification of Kaizen Opportunities, if applicable  Refined Charter, as necessary  Updated Risk Mitigation Plan  Deliverables Uploaded to Central Storage Location or Deployment Management System.
