### Overview The design review requires preparation work to ensure that the review involves the correct participants and is completed in a timely manner. The developer responsible for creating the design should organize the design review by identifying the reviewers, scheduling the design review, and sending out the design for review to all of the reviewers. # Entry Criteria Technical Data Package Contains the design documents that will be reviewed. When: Design is complete and system tests are written. # Sub-Activities
1 | Identify Reviewers | Determine who will participate in the design review. The project manager, lead developer, and tester for the design area should participate in the review. All developers on the same team as the developer whose code is being reviewed should participate in the review. Any stakeholders involved or affected by the design should participate in the review.
2 | Schedule the Review | Schedule a review meeting with the reviewers. Provide sufficient time for each reviewer to read and understand the technical data package before the meeting occurs. Plan the length of the review meeting to correspond to how many technical details must be reviewed.
3 | Circulate Design for Review | Send the technical data package to each reviewer on the list so that they have a chance to see the design before participating in the review. You can provide them a link to the technical data package on the project portal.
# Exit Criteria
| The design review meeting is scheduled and a list of participants is identified.
