Featuring 997 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Phase Gate Process improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 997 standard requirements:


1. How would you design a modified stage gate process which can respond to changes between gates and still maintain the advantages of the original NPD process?
   
   

2. How is the Agile development similar to or different from the waterfall methodology, the stage gate process, and the parallel development process?
   
   

3. What is typically used to reduce the total number of test cases to a finite set of testable test cases, still covering maximum requirements?
   
   

4. Can the development and configuration management processes manage the emergent threat environment while maintaining configuration control?
   
   

5. When teams want to throw frameworks out the window for Agile, how do leaders hang onto the Waterfall processes like Demand Management?
   
   

6. What percentage of your products is currently being supported by the Product Lifecycle Management technologies you just mentioned?
   
   

7. Is agile regarded as a software development method, a project management process, at odds with the waterfall method, or scalable?
   
   

8. Is the stage gate process consistent with suggestions that other organizations adopt parallel processes?
   
   

9. How are pmos contributing to the growing disconnect between delivery, executive strategy and operations?
   
   

10. How do you know if the new way working is better than the one before if there is no evaluation methods?
