RE: [cosmos-dev] RE: Design process

I agree that the team leads should be responsible for signing off the design as suitable and complete however I’d also like prior to this that the developer provides a walkthrough where any and all can make comments and ask questions in a meeting environment.   

 

The interaction is good for the design where a slightly different perspective may be given and also for general awareness where developers not necessarily working on that area can benefit. This can be expensive but well worthwhile..

Yes, I don't think we had come up with a set process there before.  In thinking about this some more, I think I was just making up what it perhaps should be going forward. :-)

In the past we've had a big design review call for each iteration.  During the call we provided feedback to the designer, who would later go back to make adjustments per the feedback.  In most cases, we never had a 2nd review by anyone to confirm that the corrected design was kosher.  I'd be interested to know how TPTP handled this process.

Perhaps this would make for a good arch call or community call topic for us to settle on a more explicit process, and as a result of that discussion, improve the dev process wiki page.
