Stage-Gate® Ready Certification

Stage-Gate Ready certified software tools have submitted to a rigorous evaluation on 200+ innovation related criteria, conducted by a Stage-Gate expert. This ‘seal of approval’ assures would-be buyers of product development software that the application performs the functionality necessary to successfully implement Stage-Gate best practice processes such as: Idea Management, Idea-to-Launch and Portfolio Management. 

Below is a listing of Stage-Gate Ready certified software applications.  Software applications must achieve all pre-defined mandatory criteria (in any one category) to achieve Stage-Gate Ready certification.  Additionally, applications which achieve any of the predefined optional criteria are identified with a checkmark.  You may request a detailed report card from each vendor which confirms achievement on specific criteria.

“I strongly recommend all would-be buyers to ask specifically for Stage-Gate Ready software, even if your company does not deploy a traditional Stage-Gate process. We want to help organizations take advantage of innovation productivity tools that can help advance business performance and we believe that if we reduce risks associated with these decisions, it is a win-win for everyone."

– Dr. Robert G. Cooper, Internationally Acclaimed Expert in Product Innovation.
