Stage Gates allows you to progress a project through various stage gates or decision points. When an opportunity is submitted, a stage gate process is associated with the opportunity. The stage gate process governs the number of stages and stage-specific deliverables and is defined by the EcoSys administrator. Once all stage gate-specific deliverables are completed, the project is submitted for a gate review. When the project passes the stage gate defined by the EcoSys administrator, the project can be developed in EcoSys projects.
