What is a Gateway Review?
A review conducted on a project or programme by independent accredited experts in the OGC's Gateway Review Process. It is a confidential peer review process to be conducted on behalf of the Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) at up to 6 key points throughout the life of the project or programme, including:
| Gate 0 - The Business Need | Gate 3 - The Investment Decision |
| Gate 1 - The Business Case | Gate 4 - Readiness for Service |
| Gate 2 - The Procurement Strategy | Gate 5 - Benefits Realisation |
This is done through a proven OGC methodology implemented through a series of confidential interviews and reviews. Expert reviews take place at the strategic points of a project or programme before a decision is made to commit. These reviews ensure the project or programme is fit for purpose, aligned to the business need and successful in its delivery.
The review ensures the following considerations:
- Ensuring personnel are suitably qualified and experienced for their roles on the programme or project.
- Ensuring stakeholders understand the programme or project status and the issues involved.
- Early problem identification to highlight risks and issues to be resolved and that they are been correctly mitigated.
- Is the programme or project fit for purpose to progress to the next stage of development or implementation.
- Impartially reviewing that realistic time and cost targets can be achieved.
- Ensuring a sufficient governance structure is in place, that it is scaled appropriately for the level of project complexity and risk.
- providing advice and guidance to Programme and Project Teams improving the transfer of knowledge.
