Development Peer Review Is Effective
It Ensures A Higher Quality Product
Unfortunately, peer reviews of requirements documents often aren’t held when intended and those that are performed don’t always go as intended. Reviewers take only a superficial look and they often miss major defects that lurk in the specification, leading to delivery of a poor quality product.

By converting the information that is received into an idea map, you create relationships which will help clarify the information contained.
