Planning Gates for Project MilestonesPlanning Gates for Project MilestonesThe program milestones for certain types of "standard" projects may well be laid out in a prescribed set of planning gates, usually a half-dozen to a dozen at most, with well-specified criteria and deliverables at each gate. For our purposes, a gate is equivalent to a milestone, although technically a milestone has no duration and the event at a gate does take some time, sometimes a week or more. In such a case, there would then be a gate task with an ending milestone. Depending on the nature and risk of the project, such gated processes can themselves be quite complex, requiring independent "standing" teams of objective evaluators at each gate of the process. Taken to its full extent, the gated process may require many and extensive internal documents to support the "claims" that the criteria of the gate have been met, as well as documents for customers or users that will "survive" the project. 602
