^ [[6 Planning Phase]]
# 6.9 Phase Gate- RfE (Ready for Executing)
This is the **second phase gate**. A review and approval are recommended before the project can formally move to the next phase. The Project Manager (PM) uses the **outputs of the Planning Phase to assess whether the goals of this phase have been achieved**, and then requests **approval** from the Project Steering Committee (**PSC**) to move on to the Executing Phase.
==**If major deviations from the approved [[Business Case]] and/or Project Charter**== are identified, **then the Project Steering Committee (PSC) must receive an additional approval from the Appropriate Governance Body (AGB)** before the project can move on to the Executing Phase.
PM2 provides a **template Phase Exit Review Checklist** for each phase that can be used by the Project Manager (PM) to guide the assessment, alongside a review of the phase’s specific goals.
