## Reviews

### "High up front work but can be worth it" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *2 July 2025* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I use Accolade daily to manage projects and find it allows for cross functional teamwork and consideration of a broad set of workstreams for complex projects.
> 
> **Cons**: There is a lot of set up work involved, even as someone only involved at the fringes of setting up the Stage and Gate from a technical perspective, it is almost impossible to implement without a consultant or previous expert.
> 
> A lot of up front work to set up but once established can be a handy checklist and project management template to ensure best practice
