CAPM Practice: Validate requirements through product delivery

Go/no-go decisions are formal validation gates before major deployments. BAs ensure the evaluation is based on requirements validation results: are all must-have requirements met? Are high-priority defects resolved? The decision criteria should be defined upfront from acceptance criteria, making the decision objective rather than political.

**Why not A:** A financial decision on whether to fund the next project phase is a phase gate or funding decision, not a go/no-go for deployment. The go/no-go decision in this context specifically evaluates whether the solution meets requirements and is ready for production deployment.

**Why not C:** A technical review deciding whether to use the current software framework or a new one is an architectural decision, not a go/no-go deployment decision. Go/no-go decisions assess deployment readiness based on validation results, not technology selection.

**Why not D:** A team vote on whether to continue with the current project manager is a personnel or governance decision. Go/no-go decisions are structured evaluation points where stakeholders assess whether the delivered solution meets acceptance criteria and is ready for deployment to end users.
