FAQS

Address Common
Concerns

What makes your course unique?

1. Bridging a knowledge gap: Most project managers have never been formally trained in the Stage Gate process, despite it being critical for capital-intensive projects. Our program fills that gap in a practical, easy-to-digest way. 2. Practical, not theoretical: We simplify Stage Gate implementation into actionable steps, using real-world case studies and tools that can be applied immediately. 3. Networking opportunities: Learners join a community of practitioners, which allows them to connect, share experiences, and see how others apply the same principles across industries. 4. Path to deeper learning: At a relatively low cost, participants can upgrade into expert-led webinars, and live sessions for in-depth discussions and advanced topics. 5. Backed by real experience: Our team and network include practitioners who have driven assurance reviews, opportunity framing, and governance at leading oil & gas, mining, and renewables companies.
How do learners demonstrate completion?

They must complete all videos, achieve a minimum of 75% in the assessment, and submit at least 3 completed activity sheets. This ensures both knowledge and practical application are tested. Our portal tracks video progress, quiz completion, and assignments that need to be sent to us by email. Completion data is available for reporting.
Do you have a network of experts?

Yes, we work with senior practitioners who have led front-end loading, FID readiness, assurance reviews, and opportunity framing workshops for major oil & gas, mining, and renewables companies.
Who is this course designed for?

Project managers, functional leads, sponsors, and executives working on capital projects, especially in the oil and gas, mining, renewables and large infrastructure projects. It is also highly complimentary for PMs who primarily drive Agile or Waterfall but need to integrate governance for large, high-risk projects.
How is the course structured?

40 video lessons (~4 hours total) Downloadable activities and checklists (e.g., assurance checklist, decision log, phase-gate mapping) Case studies from oil & gas, mining, and a simplified examples End-of-course assessment (30 questions, 75% pass rate) Submission of at least 3 completed activity sheets, including 2 case studies, to demonstrate application. Certificate of Completion once requirements are met.
Can you offer group discounts for teams or company-wide access?

Yes. We provide discounted pricing for groups and corporate packages. This can include team access to the online portal, live coaching sessions, and the option to tailor examples or case studies to the company’s context. We also support enterprise-level access for company-wide training initiatives with secure space for private conversations.
What are the key learning outcomes of this course?

Learners will gain a clear understanding of the Decision Gate (Stage Gate) process, why most projects fail before they start, and how to set capital projects up for success. By the end, they’ll be able to: Apply the phase-gate governance model in capital projects. Run and participate effectively in gate reviews. Assess project definition and readiness (FID readiness) Apply risk management and assurance practices across the lifecycle. Use opportunity framing techniques to align stakeholders and develop a project roadmap.
How is this different from traditional project management methods?

Unlike PMP, Agile, or Lean, this framework is decision-driven rather than process-heavy. It focuses on: - Front-end alignment to ensure the right projects move forward with the right solution. - Scalability—adaptable to both large and small projects. - Governance without bureaucracy—clear decision gates while allowing flexibility.
How long does it take to implement?

Most organizations see improvements within 3 to 6 months. Full adoption, including training and integration into governance structures, typically takes 6 months to a year.
How does the framework help reduce costs and avoid rework?

It prevents costly mistakes by ensuring: - Better project definition—reduces scope creep. - Structured decision-making—stops bad investments early. - Risk-informed reviews—ensures projects are feasible before execution.
Can this framework be tailored to my company’s needs?

Yes! This process is highly adaptable to different project types and organizational structures. We customize: - Governance levels based on project size. - Decision-making models to fit existing workflows. - Templates, procedures & training based on your needs.
Who is the Stage Gate Process for?

This framework is ideal for project leaders, executives, PMO teams, and decision-makers in industries like oil & gas, mining, and large-scale infrastructure who need a scalable, structured system for developing and managing complex projects.
How does it help minimize team turnover?

By improving team alignment and engagement, the framework: - Reduces confusion and frustration caused by unclear decision-making. - Ensures everyone knows their role and what’s expected at each stage. - Creates a collaborative, structured environment, fostering job satisfaction.
What is a Simplified Stage Gate Process?

A simplified Stage Gate Process is a structured, decision-driven approach designed to ensure projects move forward with clarity, alignment, and governance. Built on the traditional Stage Gated Process, it prevents costly mistakes, streamlines decision-making, and helps organizations deliver projects smarter, faster, and with confidence.
