Short note on Reviews Guidelines

Short note on Reviews Guidelines

• Review the product, not the producer.
• Set an agenda and maintain it.
• Limit debate and rebuttal.
• spending time debating the question, the issue should be recorded for further discussion off-line.
• Enunciate (Identify) problem areas, but don't attempt to solve every problem noted.
• Review is not a problem-solving session. The solution of a problem can often be accomplished by the producer alone or with the help of only one other individual. Problem solving should be postponed until after the review meeting.
• Take written notes.
• Limit the number of participants and insist upon advance preparation.
• Develop a checklist for each product that is likely to be reviewed.
• Allocate resources and schedule time for FTRs.
• Conduct meaningful training for all reviewers.
• Review your early reviews.
