Tollgate Checklist
Tollgate Review
Has the team defined the opportunity from both business and customer perspectives?
Define
Is this project important, i.e. has the project been chosen because it is in alignment with <Business Unit> goals and the strategic direction of the ‘business’? What is the problem statement – detailing (what) is the problem, (when) was the problem first seen, (where) was is it seen, and what is the (magnitude or extent) of the problem. Is the problem measured in terms of Quality, Cycle Time or Cost Efficiency, not expected financial benefits? Ensure there is no mention or assumptions about causes and solutions. Does a goal statement exist that defines the results expected to be achieved by the process, with reasonable and measurable targets? Is the goal developed for the “what” in the problem statement, thus measured in terms of Quality, Cycle Time or Cost Efficiency? Does a financial business case exist, explaining the potential impact (i.e. measured in dollars) of the project on the business units, suppliers, external and business customers, etc.? Is the project scope reasonable? Have constraints and key assumptions been identified? Have IT implications been addressed and coordinated with IT managers? Who is on the team? Are they the right resources and has their required time commitment to the project been confirmed by Sponsor and Team? What is the high level work plan? What are the key milestones (i.e. dates of tollgate reviews for DMAIC projects)? Who are the customers (business units, suppliers, external and business customers) for this process? What are their requirements? Are they measurable? How were the requirements determined? Who are the key stakeholders? How will they be involved in the project? How will progress be communicated to them? Do they agree to the project? What kinds of barriers/obstacles will need assistance to be removed? Has the development of a risk mitigation plan to deal with the identified risks been developed?
