Which Define phase tool is used to identify and prioritize customer needs by translating VOC data into specific, measurable product or process requirements?
Answer: Quality Function Deployment (QFD) / House of Quality
QFD (also called the House of Quality) is the Define phase tool that systematically translates VOC data into measurable Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) requirements, bridging customer language and process specifications.
In the Define phase, what is the main purpose of a Stakeholder Analysis?
Answer: To identify individuals or groups impacted by the project and plan for their engagement
Stakeholder Analysis identifies all parties affected by or influential to the project, enabling the team to plan appropriate communication and change management strategies throughout the project.
A project scope statement in the Define phase serves primarily to:
Answer: Define what is included in and excluded from the project boundaries
The scope statement clearly delineates project boundaries — what processes, locations, products, or time periods are in scope and which are explicitly excluded — preventing scope creep and keeping the team focused.
Which of the following best describes a 'Critical to Quality' (CTQ) characteristic in the Define phase?
Answer: A measurable product or process feature that directly impacts customer satisfaction
CTQs are specific, measurable characteristics of a product or process that directly determine whether the customer's needs are met. They are derived from VOC data and become the focus of improvement efforts.
What is the role of a Project Sponsor (Champion) as identified during the Define phase?
Answer: To provide organizational authority, resources, and remove barriers for the project team
The Champion or Sponsor is a senior leader who authorizes the project, secures funding and resources, helps remove organizational obstacles, and ensures alignment with business strategy — not day-to-day project work.
During the Define phase, a SIPOC diagram is typically created at what level of process detail?
Answer: A high-level overview showing four to seven major process steps
SIPOC is intentionally a high-level tool — typically four to seven major process steps — designed to give all stakeholders a shared understanding of the process scope before detailed analysis begins.
