We HIGHLY recommend that you have the support to bring a project to completion before starting the course.

Having a project as you work your way through the material will greatly aid you in seeing how the tools you are learning apply in real life situations. While we recommend that you have the support before beginning the course, you may wish to view the first instruction block (Week 1) before finalizing your project with your Champion. The discussions we have this week will help you with the "Define" phase of your project. Additionally, your instructors can help you in project selection.

Should you not have a project, it is still possible to take the course and earn a Certificate of Completion. However you will not receive a Black Belt Certification until you bring a project to successful completion. This can be done at a later date, but again, we strongly urge you to try to attain a project prior to Week 2's material. In certain rare instances, ROI may be able to procure a project for a Black Belt trainee to work.
