Phase Gate Review Meetings
By John Filicetti
The aims of a Gate review are to find an agreement between the project leader and the Gate Review Board (GRB) on the deliverables and also to make a review of the gate criteria. Prior to the first Phase Gate Review, the GRB should agree on the necessary criteria to needed for approval to pass through a gate. If the criterion is not completely met, the project will not pass through the gate and will have to apply again to the GRB for approval.
The phase-gate review process and criteria should have well-defined and published. Each meeting should include an agenda, an attendee list, projects for review, issues for discussion, and any other items for discussion. The gate review for a project should be limited to 5 minutes with brief discussion and a vote. GRB members should come to the meeting ready to vote as they have already gone through all the project information.
