Applying Six Sigma to Web Development, Design, and Usability

As I was doing a Google search on applying Six Sigma to e-commerce, I stumbled upon Eric Long’s blog, EBUSINESSBLOG.ORG.
Eric raises some interesting points about why Six Sigma has not been applied yet to web development, design, and usability. He compares web development to manufacturing, and he arranges his observation to the following points:
- Can Six Sigma be applied to web development, design, and usability?
- Why Six Sigma is difficult to achieve in web development today.
- Accept the variables in web development, and apply the concepts of Six Sigma

Applying Six Sigma to Web Development
Posted by: meikah | 4 June 2008 | 10:32 pm
I stumbled upon this old article (published back in 2005) on ClickZ and there’s a portion there that caught my attention, that is the application of Six Sigma to web development.
You see our business is web development, and right now we are actually in the process of improving our processes.
It says:
Take Web site development. Highly customized site developers are likely to achieve benefits from Six Sigma in project administration: client set-up, billing and collection, and perhaps in project status reporting. Mass-customized Web developers can apply Six Sigma to hone their core service. Standardized services have the greatest Six Sigma potential because they use software or Web sites to take clients through the entire process. A human is involved only to answer a question.
Good points. I should ponder on this more.
