Gate Review Risk Management System
Table of Contents
Business Problem
The organization faced challenges with poor product quality exiting their product development workflows. Since multiple contributors participated in development with varying quality levels, a systematic approach was needed.
Mission
Develop a process and supporting tool to enable a quality check of each contributor early in the development cycle using Google Workspace, aiming to reduce errors and rework downstream.
Solution
A gate review process was implemented where quality teams assessed contributor work samples within ten days of engagement. Teams evaluated products and selected risk treatments:
- Mitigate - Reduce the likelihood or impact
- Avoid - Eliminate the risk entirely
- Transfer - Shift the risk to another party
- Accept - Acknowledge and monitor the risk
Google Sheets, Gmail, and Forms provided automation for:
- Tracking review deadlines
- Sending notifications
- Recording completion results
Timeline
Project Duration: Five weeks
