The document describes a stage-gate innovation process consisting of 5 stages and 5 gates. Ideas move from screening, to development, to testing, and finally to launch if approved at each gate. Each stage involves key activities - scoping in stage 1, building a business case in stage 2, development in stage 3, testing and validation in stage 4, and launch in stage 5. Projects must pass through gates at the end of each stage to move to the next.
