Gated Phases

Also: production phases, phase gates, nine phases

Gated phases are the sequential macro arc of a production under XPMS: Discover, Design, Advance, Procure, Build, Install, Operate, Amplify, Close. Each phase ends at a gate, a checkpoint where defined criteria must clear before downstream work proceeds, which keeps procurement from outrunning design and settlement from starting before operations close. Amplify is the XPMS 2.5 addition at gate 8: content capture, media and press, broadcast, and post-event campaigns treated as first-class production work with their own gate. In the ATLVS ecosystem every project carries its XPMS phase, and the console renders the lifecycle as a live checklist from sell through settle.
