Decision Gate 6
Project Leaders review performance data to inform future decisions. If yes, continue production/delivery until a pre-determined date or milestone to revisit Decision Gate 6. If no, decide if Instrument/Tool requires new enabling technology (re-initiate Invention Phase II), new conceptualization (re-initiate Discovery Phase I) or simple abandonment — promote accomplishments through continued KT activities.
