Feature complete

I printed a small list of items to check when I believed the development effort was completed (ie. the MSF execution phase)

- test acceptance
- review pass
- demonstration is successful
- documentation is sufficient
- policing/governance is in place
- package/deployment is operational

If every (significant) development effort had this criteria in place then, theortically, quality would be higher, rework would be lower and information would be better shared.

To do this the review process should be well defined (see earlier posts). A basic rewvie process (separate from the development process) could be:

1) determine that the functional specification can be transpoed into development effort
2) determine if the first review has been adhered to, whether standards and best practices have been applied, and what discrepencies are there
3) confirms that the source control contains all lodged work and is packaged according to end product guidelines
