Go/No-Go Criteria

Go/No-Go Criteria are specific standards or benchmarks used to decide whether a project or task should move forward (Go) or be halted (No-Go). They help teams evaluate progress, quality, safety, budget, or other important factors, ensuring objective decision-making. If the criteria are met, the project proceeds; if not, adjustments are needed or the project may be postponed or canceled. This approach minimizes risks and ensures resources are invested wisely. Essentially, it’s a clear checklist used to determine if a project is ready for the next phase or needs reevaluation.
