Gated Process Management
Minimise your risk of New Product failures
Success rates for New Product or Service Developments are typically improved by 30% when actively managed through a Phase-Gate, Stage-Gate® or similar process.
From initial Idea through to launch each activity needs to be continually monitored and adjusted in line with rapidly changing technologies, market demands and your own Strategies and resources.
Cross-functional teams can access a central database of project and portfolio data to collaborate on Innovation Developments throughout their lifecycle from Initial Ideas through to launch and end-of-life.
Standard or bespoke process models can be used for any type of product, service or initiative to improve the efficiency of managing the execution and support better informed decision making at every stage.
Only by making continual, factual data-driven team decisions to Go, Kill or Hold development can you be assured you are financing the products and programs that will create the greatest value for the Company.
Sopheon’s Accolade software is used to successfully manage these gated processes for over 250 Enterprises around the world. In addition to Stage-Gate® Accolade can also automate any of the other gated processes including PACE®, waterfall, DoD 5000, Lean Six Sigma, Phase-Gate and Agile.
