How we do it
Three gates. One standard: delivered.
Every Queensgate engagement passes through the same three gates. It's how a boutique delivers with the discipline of a global firm — without the overhead, the bench politics or the 200-slide decks.
Assess
Typically 2 weeks
Current-state review, data readiness, stakeholder map, honest gap analysis. Deliverable: a plan you could execute without us. Some clients do — most don't want to.
Architect
Design signed before build
Solution design, integration architecture, team shape, sprint plan, success measures agreed before build begins. Nothing is configured until the design is signed.
Accelerate
Sprints, weekly demos
Sprint delivery with weekly demos, planner involvement from day one, knowledge transfer built into every sprint — because a solution your team can't run isn't delivered, it's abandoned.
What comes out the other side
You'll always know which gate you're in.
| Gate | What you get | What it costs | What comes next |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gate 1Assess | A plan you could execute without us | Fixed fee, typically two weeks | Go, adjust, or stop — your call |
| Gate 2Architect | A signed design, team shape and sprint plan | Scoped from the Gate 1 plan | Nothing is configured until this is signed |
| Gate 3Accelerate | Working software, trained planners, weekly demos | Sprint-priced, measured against Gate 2 success measures | Your team runs it. We leave it stronger. |
