Tollgate Project Management Process:
• Define tollgates and checklist items to be completed for each
tollgate
• Project reviews are based on checklist items at each tollgate
Example Discussion:
The example on the next page shows a 10-tollgate template.
• The number of tollgates used can be changed.
• For this example items 1-6 correspond to “ Defining the problem and
Formulating solutions”, plus numerous project management tasks.
• Tollgates 7, 8 and 9 correspond to “detailed design and development”
• Tollgate 10 covers field support, a very important component of a real-
world product development project
