Review meetings are used to improve quality and productivity. They involve inspecting products through walkthroughs and discussions focused on identifying issues rather than people. Preparation includes setting roles, materials, and agenda. Meetings last 1.5-2 hours to identify problems, responsible parties, and resolutions which are documented in a report. Unresolved major issues require follow up meetings while minor issues are handled afterwards. The report details the meeting objectives, findings, and action items for improvement. Participants must commit to preparation, participation, and following through on assigned roles and tasks.
