# Introduction

Quality gates enforce a quality policy for the results of code review and analysis in your organization by answering one question: is my project ready for release?

The built-in quality gate **Sonar way** is used by default as the default quality gate.

With the Administer Quality Gates permission, you can create your own quality gates, called custom quality gates.
