Does anyone have or would you recommend a good source for what I would tag a 'pilot's checklist' for six sigma that would give a list, process flow, decision tree, checksheet, etc. for the steps to consider in initiating and conducting a six sigma project? Being fairly new at the process, I am bombarded with so many action items, choices in stats application, etc. that I'm concerned that I will miss crucial steps. Maybe something that breaks down DMAIC into action items? Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Cove. There are lots of free files here that you might find useful; click on Post Attachments List up at the top of the page. There are also some free, non-proprietary files at dmaictools.com that you might find useful.

The confusion you're experiencing at this point is most likely due to the unnecessary complications that are intrinsic to SS. People often find themselves spending too much time worrying about SS orthodoxy and checking off all of the DMAIC items and not enough time actually solving problems. Don't let the tail wag the dogma.
