01 · What downloads
What is in the storyboard template set.
The three Excel workbooks are where you do the work. The single PowerPoint deck is where you present it. They share the RDMAICS spine and nothing else, because calculating and presenting are different jobs.
Three Excel workbooks
One per belt. The file you work in while the project runs.
Yellow Belt Storyboard
Charter through closure, sized for a first project
Green Belt Storyboard
Adds value stream mapping, MSA, capability and FMEA
Black Belt Storyboard
Adds regression, multi-vari, ANOVA and design of experiments
One PowerPoint deck
The file you present from at every tollgate.
RDMAICS Storyboard Deck
Every tool as a slide, badged YB, GB or BB
02 · The Excel workbooks
The Excel storyboard template, where the project gets calculated.
One workbook per belt. You type the raw numbers and the sheets do the arithmetic, ranking and plotting. This is the file you work in day to day while the project runs. The sheets below are shown with sample data from a fictitious accounts payable project.
Use the arrows, the dots, swipe, or the arrow keys
Live calculation
Sigma level, DPMO, capability, RPN, cumulative percentage and weighted scores all recalculate as you type.
Self sorting tables
Pareto ranks causes highest to lowest and flags the vital few. The chart redraws itself.
Automatic plotting
Impact versus effort and the stakeholder grid place their own markers from the scores you enter.
Belt scaled
Yellow Belt 55 sheets, Green Belt 71, Black Belt 75. Same spine, more tools as the belt requires.
Clickable index
Each workbook opens on a navigation sheet. Select a tool name and Excel jumps straight to it.
Unlocked
No protected sheets and no hidden formulas. Rename, extend and rebrand as you need.
03 · The PowerPoint deck
The PowerPoint storyboard template, where the project gets presented.
A separate deck covering the same 75 tools in slide form. This is the file you open in front of a sponsor, a coach or a tollgate panel. No formulas, no cell grid, nothing to project badly on a screen.
Use the arrows, the dots, swipe, or the arrow keys
Built for a screen
16:9 slides with type sized to read from the back of a meeting room, not spreadsheet cells shrunk to fit.
Belt badges
Every tool slide is marked YB, GB or BB so a candidate knows which slides their belt requires.
Phase dividers
Seven full bleed dividers announce each phase, so a long review has a visible structure.
Tollgate slides
Each phase closes on a checklist slide with reviewer, date and a recorded gate decision.
Drawn diagrams
The fishbone, SIPOC and matrices are drawn shapes you type into, not screenshots.
Your template
Apply your own theme, logo and colours, or keep the Lean 6 Sigma Hub styling as supplied.
04 · Which file, when
They are not the same file in two skins.
The workbooks and the deck do different jobs at different points in the project. Most people run the workbook all the way through, then present from the deck at each tollgate.
Excel workbooks
3 files · 201 sheets
- Use it for
- Doing the work. Entering data, running the numbers, building the evidence.
- Who touches it
- The belt candidate and the project team.
- Strength
- 1,214 live formulas. Calculated fields move as you type.
- Scope
- Three separate files, one per belt, sized to what that belt needs.
- Output
- A complete, auditable project record a coach can open and check.
PowerPoint deck
1 file · 75 slides
- Use it for
- Telling the story. Tollgate reviews, steering meetings, final sign off.
- Who touches it
- The belt candidate, presenting to sponsors and reviewers.
- Strength
- Readable on a screen. Phase dividers and belt badges guide the room.
- Scope
- One file covering all three belts, with each slide badged YB, GB or BB.
- Output
- A presentation you can walk a panel through without rebuilding anything.
05 · The spine
Seven phases. Seven tollgates. Nothing skipped.
RDMAICS puts Recognise at the front and Sustain at the back, because that is where most projects are won and lost. Each phase closes with a checklist and a recorded gate decision: go, go with conditions, no go, or rework.
Prove the opportunity is worth running
Find the problem worth solving, confirm it aligns to strategy, secure a sponsor, and score it against the other candidates on the list.
Scope it and get the team aligned
Lock the problem statement, the goal, the boundaries and the metrics, then map the customers, the stakeholders and who does what.
Quantify the current state with data
Agree what you are counting and how, map the process as it runs today, then establish a baseline the sponsor will accept.
Find and validate the real causes
Generate the candidate causes, narrow them to the vital few, then test them against the data rather than against opinion.
Generate, score, pilot, implement
Build the solution set, score it on impact and effort, prove it on a pilot, cost it, then roll it out with a change plan behind it.
Hold the gains in the process
Hand the improved process to its owner with the monitoring, the response plan and the documentation that keep it from drifting back.
Embed it and feed the next project
Transfer the knowledge, audit the result at 30, 60 and 90 days, and roll what you learnt into the next opportunity on the list.
One page the sponsor can sign
Before and after on four measures, the key achievements, the lessons learnt, and a six line sign off block covering finance and the process owner.
06 · Full contents
All 75 Lean Six Sigma tools in the storyboard template.
The full list, nothing hidden behind a scroll bar. The badges show which Excel workbook each tool ships in. The PowerPoint deck carries all 75 as slides with the same belt badges.

Yellow Belt 55 tools · Green Belt 71 · Black Belt 75 · PowerPoint deck carries all 75
07 · Inside the workbooks
1,214 live formulas doing the arithmetic.
This section applies to the Excel workbooks only. The PowerPoint deck carries no formulas by design, because a slide that recalculates in front of a panel is a slide that goes wrong.
Sigma calculator
Enter units, opportunities and defects. DPU, DPO, DPMO, yield and sigma level return against the conversion table.
Self sorting Pareto
Type causes in any order. The sheet ranks them, runs the cumulative percentage, flags the vital few and redraws the chart.
Stakeholder quadrants
Score influence and interest. The sheet assigns Manage Closely, Keep Satisfied, Keep Informed or Monitor and plots the position.
FMEA risk priority
Severity, occurrence and detection multiply into RPN so the highest risk failure modes rise to the top.
Gage R and R verdict
The measurement system sheet returns an acceptance result rather than leaving you to interpret the percentage.
Weighted matrices
Project selection, cause and effect, Pugh and risk assessment all total and rank without manual arithmetic.
08 · Who it fits
Who the storyboard template is built for.
- Belt candidates who need a project record a coach and a certifying body will accept
- Practitioners running live improvement work who are tired of rebuilding templates
- Coaches and Master Black Belts reviewing a cohort in one consistent format
- Training providers and internal CI teams standardising across Yellow, Green and Black Belt
09 · Be clear
What it is not.
- Not a statistics package. It structures and records your analysis. Minitab or SigmaXL still handle heavy computation on large datasets.
- Not a training course. It assumes you know what a SIPOC and a control plan are for.
- Not a certification. No exam and no certificate attach to this product.
- Not pre-filled with your data. The sample figures on this page are illustrative. You bring the project.
