How this project runs
Gated Scrum with an ADKAR overlay
Approval gates at the top, delivery in sprints underneath, change management alongside. One project, three ways of working, bound by scope rather than by compromise.

Consequences
What this turns on
- 10 sections in the navigation
- Approval gates between phases
- Delivery in timeboxes (off)
- Work-in-progress limits (off)
- A critical path and float
- Earned value and forecasting
- A locked baseline, so scope changes need approval
- 52 documents in the set
- 12 measures computed
Zones
Parts of this project run differently
A zone rebinds part of the method to a branch of the plan. This is what lets one project run gates at the top and sprints underneath without pretending they are the same thing.

Overlays
Added alongside delivery
- Prosci ADKARChange management overlay. Adds readiness assessment per stakeholder group, the sponsor roadmap, and resistance management alongside delivery.
Tailoring notes
1 thing worth knowing
Tailoring is a PMBOK 7 principle, so none of these block anything. They are advice.
- The cadence runs on approval gates but no board is laid out by gate.Switch a board to the gate layout, or swimlane the existing board by phase.
