Following each review meeting, the results of the meeting should be documented in some form of Review Record. In addition, change request may be formally recorded
(and eventually assigned to someone to own and drive to resolution).
One of the most important, yet surprisingly often neglected, aspects of reviews is the management to resolution of the
follow-up tasks or actions identified during the review. While you can usually assign many of the identified actions
during the course of the review meeting itself, be prepared to reassign tasks as needed to help balance the workload of
team members.
Even if you can review everything you need to in a single meeting, you probably won't get approval of all your
conclusions the first time. Be prepared to carry out subsequent reviews as necessary to help manage the undertaking of
a large number of follow-up tasks.
