   Round-Robin Review. 
In a
round-robin review, each participant is given an equal opportunity to
study and present the evaluation of the product being reviewed.
A
round-robin review can be performed during any phase of the product
life cycle and is also useful for documentation review. In addition,
some variations of the round-robin review incorporate the best features
from other peer review forms but continue to use the alternating review
leader approach. For example, during a round-robin inspection, each
item on the inspection checklist is made the Responsibility of
alternating participants.
The usual number of personnel involved in
this type of peer review is four to six. The meeting is scheduled by
the producer, who also distributes high-level documentation as input.
The producer is either the first review leader or assigns this
responsibility to another participant. The temporary leader guides the
other participants (e.g., implementers, designers, testers, users, and
maintenance representatives) through the first unit of work. This unit
may be a module, paragraph, line of code, inspection item, or other
unit of manageable size. All participants (including the leader) have
the opportunity to comment on the unit before the next leader begins
the evaluation of the next unit. The leaders are responsible for noting
major comments raised about their piece of work. At the end of the
review, all the major comments are summarized and the group decides
whether to approve the product. No formal mechanism for review
follow-up is used.
