Validating phase gate criteria involves checking artifact status and version requirements against defined gate definitions for phases like LOM, ABM, IOC, and PRM. Multi-agent review orchestrates parallel validators to assess specific criteria and generates structured pass/fail reports with remediation guidance.

Multi-agent review for phase transitions dispatches specific validator agents in parallel to assess different exit criteria. This mechanism verifies artifact existence and baselined status to prevent premature project transitions and ensure quality before advancing.

Checking if required artifacts are baselined is automated through artifact verification, which validates the existence and status of draft, approved, or baselined documents. This ensures all necessary project artifacts meet version requirements before phase progression.

Automated gate checks can be used for software architecture phase transitions by verifying that the Software Architecture Document is baselined, key Architecture Decision Records exist, and risk mitigation targets are met before moving from Elaboration to Construction.

Generating pass/fail reports for milestone gates is best handled by multi-agent validation that produces structured gate reports. These reports detail the validation status, blocking issues, and specific remediation guidance for failed criteria.

Phase gate validation fails when required artifacts are missing or lack approved baselined status, preventing the project from meeting defined exit criteria. Structured gate reports identify these blocking issues and provide remediation guidance to resolve them.
