Share your reviewing success story:
Why is it your favorite?
How did you communicate with people?
Who coordinated feedback? How?
Share your worst time waster during review:
I have to chase people around for feedback via email
I get feedback in many different forms and formats
I spend too much time keeping track of all the versions circulating

Tops and Flops
Doc review is at its best when the team is engaged
Effective doc review can only be achieved with the right tools
Doc review requires a clear process
Open vs. Structured Collaboration
Reviewing docs requires a structured workflow and defined roles
Open collaboration works better for crowd sourcing than project mgt
