“A Body of Knowledge (BOK or BoK) is the complete set of concepts, terms and activities that make up a professional domain.” This is how it is defined in Wikipedia. For instance, Six Sigma BoK refers to the complete set of concepts and terms related to Six Sigma as a culture and as a methodology.
One can hardly assemble the entire BoK of any profession in a single document. BoK is progressively elaborated with the advancement of science and technology. Hence, having the BoK collected in one document is almost impossible.
That said, eager learners and professionals always seek to aggregate knowledge in one place for several reasons. First, they can refer easily to any part of the BoK to see its context and how it is related to other parts. Second, it helps learners to create a roadmap of their study to ensure comprehensive study before they sit for a certification exam, for example. Finally, having the BoK collected and accessible in one place makes it easier for tutors, trainers, and instructors in their material preparation and delivery.
Our “Six Sigma Body of Knowledge (BoK)” is a set of ten tree diagrams representing most of the concepts and terms used in Six Sigma. They first were drafted by Mohammed Barakat, Founder of Excellence Made Easy, when he was preparing to sit for the Certified Six Sigma Black Belt exam with ASQ.
Nothing could beat a clear, organized roadmap of study for a learner. This is what the Six Sigma Body of Knowledge document represents for you as learner, professional, or course instructor.
