THE CHALLENGE
Why this matters
Stage-gate models, exit criteria and project schedules are often maintained in different tools. The project manager must manually align them and repeatedly check that the plan still reflects the organization’s governance model.
THE 1PM APPROACH
A connected way of working
1PM uses the organization’s project model to establish the stages and governance structure of the project. Phases, tracks, activities and milestones are planned within that structure, while exit criteria remain connected to the relevant stages.
