The DMADV Methodology [ http://six-sigma-blog.wittybuzz.com/2008/08/14/the-dmadv-methodology/ ]
The DMADV methodology can not be better explained than by comparing it with DMAIC methodology despite their fundamental differences. Take for example, the case of a traveling salesman who convinces a customer to buy at the best price.

Every project manager dreads the day when he or she has to make the long walk to the executive sponsor’s office to ask for more money.
