phase-gate

To validate phase completion, run parallel scope completion checks and full quality gate suites including linting, type checking, test coverage, security scans, and smoke tests. This analysis enforces explicit approval before advancing, preventing incomplete work and scope creep from moving forward.

A phase-gate quality check is a validation process that evaluates deliverable completion status and runs mandatory quality gates. You need it during phased software development workflows to support full phase validation, mid-phase progress tracking, and pre-implementation plan review.

Yes, you can track mid-phase progress without a full phase transition using flexible validation modes. This feature supports mid-phase progress checks alongside full phase evaluation and pre-implementation plan validation to fit different points in your development workflow.

Yes, the phase validation process integrates with git worktree and PR workflows to streamline handoffs. It enforces controlled phase transitions by requiring explicit user approval before moving to the next phase, ensuring traceable scope tracking and automated quality enforcement.

You can prevent scope creep and incomplete deliverables by running simultaneous scope completion checks and full quality gate suites. This controlled phase transition governance requires all deliverables to be complete and all tests to pass before advancing.
