The rise of Agile working, Lean Startup and Design Thinking has had a great impact on the practice of innovation management. Does this mean that Stage-Gate is obsolete? To find out, as a graduate student I first studied the theory of these processes. Then I analyzed 150 BEACON innovation projects for the methodologies used. With the goal of identifying which approach works best for different types of innovation projects. My conclusion is that the Stage-Gate process is still relevant as the backbone of the process.
