Originally posted by chef View Postclient co have stated that the design doc is a milestone and therefore build phase cannot begin until this is signed off.
Don't you need to hold walkthrough sessions of the documentation with the reviewers to ensure the review process is thorough and that everyone is fully bought in to the strategy and direction set out within, mitigating the risk that any assumptions are made by either side that later prove to be incorrect and cause avoidable additions to scope and timescales?
Or do all the reviewers just read the docs in isolation, not fully understand them, send you a few comments back on minor grammar/punctuation issues, then complain 3 months later that their sign-off "doesn't really count anymore" as they didn't really understand the docs in the first place?"A life, Jimmy, you know what that is? It’s the s*** that happens while you’re waiting for moments that never come." -- Lester FreamonComment
