- Increase Project Throughput: Do more projects by ensuring the right projects and right amount of projects are approved and executed.
- Validate Project Quality: Ensure issues are uncovered and resolved with standard check points in the project.
- Increase Reporting and Visibility: Easily compare progress of projects across the portfolio and report outcomes to leadership.
- Reduce Resource Waste: Terminate low value projects early and assign the right resources to approved projects.
- Achieve Intended Project Outcomes: Keep the sponsor engaged throughout the gating process to achieve desired outcomes.
