Manage the Review Process from End to End

The review process starts when the need for a review has been identified by management or a member of the technical team. The flow diagram below shows the steps of the process. The manager or moderator schedules the review, the reviewers comment, the team discusses the issues, and then resolves them.

Archiving Capability Allows for Historical Record

InSpec allows the review records to be stored for future access. During Step 2 of the process, all of the information is stored along with the date that the input was recorded and the subject of the review or inspection. These records then serve as a historical database that can be searched and retrieved to help guide future reviews of make performance improvements.

Time Tracking Feature Helps Manage Budget

InSpec’s summary form provides a place for team members to record time spent on each review, so that the manager can monitor the budget. This time tracking feature can help in calculating return on investment (ROI) for the review, enabling management to decide how and when to conduct reviews in the future.

Take Your Review Process to a Higher Level of Maturity

Using InSpec on a regular basis can help make the product development cycle more efficient, saving time in conducting and documenting reviews. InSpec can also help improve overall quality of the delivered products, because all review comments can be collected and addressed, and appropriate actions can be taken to correct errors or inconsistencies throughout the product cycle.
