Technical Reviews or Design Reviews and Audits

Technical Reviews are used to formally decide on readiness of a programs design to move to the next phase of development. It is part of the Systems Engineering process. Some examples in order usually seen in a program are Systems Requirements Review (SRR), Systems Design Review (SDR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), Test bReadiness Reviews, Production Readiness Reviews, Functional Configuration Audit, and Physical Configuration Audit. They are very common in Department of Defense but also in other US government agencies and commercial development programs and internationally. Their are a number of good sources of information on these reviews including MIL-STD-1521, Defense Acquistion Guidebook, International Conference on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) and a number of commercial Systems Engineering Standards.
