Principles and practice
Design review is a tried and tested method of promoting good design and a cost-effective way of improving quality.

Design review: principles and practice
Design review: principles and practice explains how design review can support good design through the planning process and how to set up and run a design review panel. Case studies illustrate the breadth of panels now operating and share learning from their experiences.
