The Project Concept Stage

The first in the three-step Stage-Gate process, the Project Concept Stage is a checkpoint that evaluates the research work completed to date to determine if the project should proceed to the next stage. The criteria assessed at this stage is whether the technical performance specifications or information requirements have been satisfactorily met. The key output of this phase is the project manager’s plan for work to be undertaken between this stage and the Technology Development and Information Verification (RD&VI) stage.

During this stage, the technical risks and potential benefits of continuing research are carefully evaluated by the gatekeepers. If all the gatekeepers concur that the research has reached a point where further risk is reduced, the project can move to the next stage and be funded. This is a sign that the project is being managed effectively and will benefit the business. It also ensures that funding for the project is not being wasted.
