We will examine two different types of methodology: linear and iterative. Linear means that the previous stage or task must be completed before the next. In a project like building a house, the linear approach will work. Imagine that you are preparing a new series project for a television company. Contrary to the previous example, adopting an iterative and more flexible approach in this project where some stages of the tasks overlap or occur while other tasks are being performed may yield more successful results.

Following the DMAIC process prevents important steps from being skipped and increases the probability of the project's success. Your team uses the data to find the best practices that the customer can use in the future.
