# 3.2.6 Phase Gates and Approvals
At the end of each phase, the project passes through a **review and approval gate**. This ensures that the project is reviewed by the appropriate people (i.e. the Project Manager (PM), Project Owner (PO), the [[Project Steering Committee (PSC)]] or other delegated role) before it moves on to the next phase.
These checkpoints contribute to the overall project management **quality** and allow the project to proceed in a more **controlled** way.
**The three PM2 phase gates are**:
- RfP ([[Ready for Planning (RfP)|Ready for Planning]]): at the end of the Initiating Phase
- RfE ([[Ready for Executing (RfE)|Ready for Executing]]): at the end of the Planning Phase
- RfC ([[Ready for Closing (RfC)|Ready for Closing]]): at the end of the Executing Phase.
