Stomwerk Projekt System · Capital project governance

Govern capital projects from idea to handover.

The Stomwerk Projekt System is a complete, company-agnostic governance framework: twenty-one discipline guidelines, a library of 86 templates, and a stage-gate assurance framework, aligned with the PMBOK Guide (seventh edition), ISO 21502 and the Construction Extension.

Coming soon The full Stomwerk Projekt System launches shortly. Register interest to be notified when it ships.
01 / The system

One framework, from the first idea to benefits.

Built from a real capital-projects governance system and reconciled to PMI and ISO. Plain Word and Excel, deliberately neutral, ready to rebrand and roll out.

Weighted gate criteria
A

Governance

Steering committees, delegation of authority, roles and the decision tiers that scale with project value, from the sponsor to the board.

B

Lifecycle and gates

Six phases closed by seven numbered gates, G0 to G6, with a quantitative readiness score behind every decision and G4 released per work front.

C

Controls

Scope, cost, schedule, risk, procurement and earned value, with estimate-class expectations built into each gate.

D

Assurance

Independent value-assurance reviews and three lines of assurance, sized to the project category and recorded against each gate.

02 / The lifecycle

Six phases, seven checkpoints, one score.

Each gate is scored against a weighted library of criteria across ten assurance themes. The score suggests an outcome; the deciding authority decides.

Parallel execution. G4 is the truss point that lets construction start before detailed engineering is complete. It is taken per work front and made of four readiness sub-gates; a front is released only when all four pass, so design runs in parallel with construction.

Decision outcomes
Pass

All mandatory criteria met, readiness at or above 85 percent, no open critical condition.

Conditional

A tentative pass: proceed subject to named conditions, each with an owner and a due date.

Hold / Recycle

Readiness below threshold, or a mandatory criterion below its floor; remediate and re-review.

Stop

A deliberate business decision to cancel; never an automatic score outcome.

03 / The library

Twenty-one guidelines and the system manual.

One guideline per discipline, each with its template series. Sold complete, in discipline packs, or as individual items.

04 / New in v3.0

Readiness, scored end to end.

Version 3.0 reconciles the framework into one seven-gate model, G0 to G6, and scores how well the scope is defined at both ends of the lifecycle. One gate-model file drives the guideline, the scorecards and the tracker, so they never disagree.

SPS-T01.07

Definition Readiness, front end

A PDRI-style score of how well the scope is defined, taken at G1, G2 and G3 with rising targets of 30, 60 and 85 percent. Every element carries a plain "what complete means" check, so the gate measures definition, not activity.

SPS-T01.09

Completion Readiness, back end

New in v3.0: the same discipline at the finish. Handover and closure are scored at G5 and G6 with targets of 90 and 95 percent and critical-item flags, so a project is accepted and closed on evidence, not optimism.

SPS-T01.08

Sized to complexity

A complexity tier scales the rigour of the model up or down: which gates apply, who approves, what assurance is required and how deep the scoring goes, so a minor upgrade is not over-controlled and a mega programme is not under-controlled.

SPS-GM v3.0

One reconciled model

The two gate frameworks that once coexisted are merged into a single seven-gate model. The machine-readable gate-model file drives SPS-01, the Excel scorecards and the Gate Assurance Tracker from one source of truth.

04 / The instrument

The Gate Assurance Tracker.

The framework, made operational. Score, track and review every gate in the browser or in Excel.

Every gate, scored and on the record.

Set a maturity level for each criterion and the tool computes the readiness percentage, the RAG band and the suggested outcome, then tracks conditions to closure. Self-contained, offline, your data stays on your machine.

Systems before symptoms. Causes before consequences. Structure before presentation.

05 / The assistant

Ask the SPS assistant.

A closed assistant that reasons only from the Stomwerk Projekt System: gates, governance, compliance, process and templates. It will not answer anything outside the system.
