What is a stage gate process?
  1. A form of rolling wave planning
  2. Formal deliverable acceptance
  3. Phased project procedure where at the end of each stage management debates whether or not to continue the project
  4. Scope management technique
  5. A way of assessing projects using metrics
Explanation
Answer: C - A stage gate process has a set time or milestone, known as a gate. At each gate, the continuation of the project is decided by management.

Key Takeaway: Stage gates are very common in Research and Development projects where as more information is revealed, the viability of the project should be re-considered. In many cases, this will not only be information from the project, but rather material changes in the overall environment. For instance, a project to develop a new product may get killed if another company has already gotten to market.
