5.12 Discussion and Practice

If you had to redo the collection of the data used in the check sheet section, how would you set up your check sheet?

Design a process map for how you get from your home to your first activity of the day.

Use your favorite sports team as a data source, apply the affinity diagram to identify ways it can improve. What would be your problem statement? Assume you use three friends that are also fans to help you brainstorm. Which brainstorming method of collection would you use and why? Finally, using 3x5 cards, write down 20 thoughts yourself and then organize them into categories. Complete your affinity diagram.

Continuing with the sports analogy and your favorite team, discuss which two items would provide a good example of a relationship that could be analyzed by a scatter diagram and why. How would you collect and display that data?

Finally, create a fishbone diagram based on the answers to the questions above.
