In my previous articles, I have looked at some of the facts that you need to know about projects and project management generally. In this article, I want to talk about all that you need to know about phase gate reviews for projects. Follow me as we are going to look at that together in this article.

A Phase Gate review is a checkpoint review of project deliverables and performance that occurs at the end of each phase of a project where a management review of sign-off may be required.

Each review is used to check is each phase has fulfilled the exit criteria and is eligible to move to the next phase.

The advantage of this approach; a that the project is controlled by incremental decisions based on information , rather than one big decision based on speculation and conjecture.

The disadvantage of this approach is that it may create the impression that the project team keeps approaching management for assurance, approval, and support and provides management with an opportunity for mentoring and guiding the project.

Like phase gate, tollgate reviews also check if a project phase in a 6 Sigma project has met all the set objectives and is eligible to move to the next phase. When a phase receives tollgate approval, the project can proceed to the next phase.
