Gate Review Consulting Services for your Stage Gate Process

e can provide consulting assistance related to gate reviews in the following ways:
We can conduct an evaluation of your current gate review process. The evaluation involves interviews, reviews of gate review document packages, and observing two or three gate reviews (either in person or by video conference). We will put together a presentation to management covering our findings and recommendations to improve the gate review process.

If the organization does not have a gate review process in place, we can conduct a gate review workshop to cover the concepts of the Stage / Phase-Gate process and how to conduct gate reviews. As part of this workshop, we would work with the management team to define the gate review process including:

Frequency or schedule of the gate reviews
Preparatory steps for project teams
Information or documents to be provided to gate reviewers and its format
Scoring or evaluation criteria for gate reviews
Gate review ground rules and outcomes

Finally, using the defined gate review process, we can facilitate initial gate reviews until there was a sound understanding of the process.
