STAGE GATE

The Stage Gate Process is a rigorous, disciplined governance regime implemented by Valquest. Tailored and utilised for each project, it defines the clear tasks to progress through each stage, and importantly, implements a gate process whereby clients can review the outcomes of each stage and approve transition to the next.
