Phase Gate Process

The Phase Gate Process is a structured approach to managing projects through distinct stages, called phases, with decision points called gates. At each gate, project progress is reviewed to determine if it meets specific criteria—such as technical readiness, budget, and timeline. If approved, the project moves to the next phase; if not, adjustments are made or the project may be halted. This process helps ensure resources are invested wisely and risks are managed effectively, providing clear checkpoints for evaluating progress and making informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
