Yellow belt is the first level in the Six Sigma program. To get yellow belt status one must go through a training course in Six Sigma and pass an online certification. Yellow belt team members do not lead projects on their own, but they are usually a core team member with special knowledge on a project. Yellow belts are responsible for:

• The development of process maps to support Six Sigma projects.
• Running smaller process improvement projects using the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) method
• Being a subject matter expert on the Six Sigma project
