2.  The participants may have different
understandings. The terms "review",
"inspection", and "walkthrough" are often used
interchangeably, although they are not the
same.
 Indeed the solution should be trainings, but the
duration of that trainings depends on the
experience of each person.
 The group should adopt some written
procedures for how reviews are to be
conducted.

3.  When a review is in progress, attention should
be on the product, not on the producer.
 Some comments could make the producer feel
defensive, beaten up.
 The solution should be trying to direct
comments and criticisms to the product itself,
rather than pointing out places the author
made an error .

4.  Reviews are important because there are found
defects in a software work product.
 If the review is not planned, the team may not
have time to prepare and the reviewers may
not have time to attend.
 The solution is to take the time needed to
prepare the reviews and plan it in advance.

5.  Reviews should focus on finding defects, but
too often an interesting defect triggers a
spirited discussion about how it ought to be
fixed.
 If the solution can be found in less than a
minute, then it could be discussed in the
review meeting.
 The solution is focusing on the purpose of the
meeting.

6.  Preparation for a review meeting takes time
 If the review is not prepared, then it’s just a
waste of time.
 Preparation means time and documents, and of
course focus.

7.  If the participants in a review do not have
appropriate skills and knowledge to find
defects, their review contributions are minimal.
 To be effective, the number of participants
should be between 3 and 7 and they should
have the knowledge needed for the specific
review.

8.  Indeed the reviewers focus on style, not the
substance, and that is not the purpose of the
review, criticizing the bad grammar of
somebody.
 The solution should be controlling the style
distraction by adopting standard templates for
project documents and coding standards or
guidelines.
