Gateway actions
The Concept and Developed Design Quality Best Practice Self-Assessment Tool, published by the Chartered Quality Institute (CQI) Construction Special Interest Group (ConSIG) in 2021 and updated in 2022, defines a gateway as: ‘A point in a project were the team reviews progress against plan before progressing to the next stage. Often a gateway is subject to external approval by Client/Owner management team and stakeholders. Often called Stage Gates or Milestones around the world.’
It defines gateway actions as: ‘Outstanding actions, agreed at the completion of the prior project stage, that must be completed in the current project stage. i.e. risks carried forward.’
