In the process of research and development, r&d personnel will review other personnel’s related matters and also invite other personnel to review their own related matters. Common reviews include requirements review, solution review, plan review, code review, specification review, configuration update review, bug fix review and so on.

Why do you need reviews? Is there a need for review? Can’t something be done without review? The answer is yes.

Refer to the definition in Baidu Encyclopedia, review, refers to review and review; For consideration. Generally, judges are required to determine the outcome of the competition. In the abstract, review means to evaluate whether something is approved or not by means of review, review and deliberation. Five key elements can be drawn here.

  1. The organizer of the judging: refers to the contestants in the competition. In the process of structure optimization, to review, review of the organizers, of course, also can be other people, but as a need to review the staff is the most clear the content of the review of related party, dependence and the coordination of personnel, the best to the team process and personnel collaborative relationship more clear, or related personnel guidance.

  2. Content of judging: Refers to the competition to be participated in. In the process of architecture optimization, each sub-direction will involve review, and the content of the review is not only the technical architecture scheme, problem analysis, technical research, competition analysis, key technology, business bottom conclusion and so on.

  3. Who will review: The person who can decide the outcome of the review. The person who can decide the result of the review must participate in it, and the same coordinated personnel also need to participate in it. The content of the review is related to the relevant implementation party, and the result of the review needs to be able to decide the result of the review.

  4. Review result: pass/fail/todo. The result is a summary of the relevant points in the review meeting process, the absence of which is equivalent to an unsuccessful review meeting.

  5. Objective of the review: For the organizer, the objective is to pass the review; For reviewers, the goal is to determine whether they can pass, based on criteria and experience.

To summarize the above key elements, the review process is the organizer of the review, prepare the review content, pull the people who can decide the results of the review, review and review the content of the review, and the final result is the goal of passing.

After the review process, the same volume of the review has realized the alignment of multiple sides and the alignment of boundaries. The content passed by the review is recognized by the reviewers. The content not approved by the review means that there is a node that the reviewers do not agree with, and the node can be approved only after it meets the requirements of all reviewers.

In this process, the most important thing is the content of the review and the relevant personnel of the review. When the content is not transparent, the potential risks will naturally be difficult to discover, while when the content is clear and easy to understand, the cost of risk discovery will be low. When the reviewers correlation is insufficient, or lack of staff, to get the effective feedback will decrease, and when the reviewers to review the contents of the related fields, because of the diversity of the reviewers, the review process can achieve wider, deeper and more effective review content found in the insufficiency, for after the review process to evade the risk in advance, It reduces unnecessary manpower input, improves r&d quality and efficiency, and plays a key role in ensuring team manpower input and output in the long run.

As the organizer of the review, the content of the review is almost not perfect. The purpose of the review is not to determine the consistency of the review results, but to find the potential risks in the review content from more dimensions, and finally avoid the irreversible risks in the current review content. In this case, it is necessary to invite more personnel related to the review content to participate as soon as possible. Relevant parties of the review content should get together and make a reasonable assessment of the impact of the review content based on the objectives, so as to discover the deficiencies of the review content in advance.
