Does the OGC Gateway Process apply to programmes?
Yes. OGC Gateway Review 0 (Strategic assessment) is designed to apply at the start of an acquisition programme and may be repeated at subsequent key decision points. OGC Gateway Review 0 confirms that the appropriate project structure is in place and that interdependencies have been recognised. OGC Gateway Reviews 1 to 5 apply to each of the procurement projects within the programme. A repeat OGC Gateway Review 0 later in the life of a programme can be helpful to re-visit and confirm the business case, the management of the programme risks and interactions between the projects and the delivery of benefits for the programme as a whole.
