Main Description
Any member of the project team can take on the Reviewer role, as long as
they have the appropriate pre-requisite skills. For reviews that involve multiple
team members, one person playing this role will also need to take responsibility
for coordinating the review process itself , playing the Review Coordinator role.
Reviews can be generalized into two main categories: management reviews of project
progress - see the Management Reviewer role
and technical reviews of project work products - see the Technical Reviewer role.

Staffing
Skills |
Depending on the type of review, management or technical, a different skill set will be required:
-
Technical: domain knowledge or subjective matter expertise appropriate to the work product being
reviewed.
-
Management: many years of business (including contract formulation and negotiation), technical, and
software project management experience, excellent understanding of risk management principles and
very good estimation skills.
As a general rule, the review team should represent all the parties that have
an interest in the work product being reviewed, including all the consumers of
the work product. Therefore this role could be played by a person with a skill
set that doesn't match the skills of the author, but could understand the impact
on subsequent tasks in which the work product is consumed.

Assignment Approaches |
This role is assigned to one or more individuals on a case-by-case basis,
according to the work product(s) being reviewed, the teams involved and the
availability of staff members to take part in the review.
