 GDC-I PEER REVIEW PROCESS

Introduction
As you get assigned to projects, depending on the project scope, your deliverables may include documents like
the High Level Design (HLD), the Low Level Design (LLD), Network Audit, NATP, NIMP, and more.
Before sending these documents to the customer, its important that you have a peer in GDC-I review them for
accuracy, completeness, and to ensure a high level of overall quality in the deliverable.
This document will outline the Peer Review Process and also outline the steps you need to take to submit a
document for peer review in the Document Review Tracker (DRT
The Document Review Tracker is a web based tool which provides interface to create, view, update and track
progress of the document reviews.
The DRT enables:
Communication between submitter and reviewer in the form of comments/feedback and a change log
Reviewers can quickly find out the reviews pending for their approval and the reviews approved by them.
Submitters can quickly view all the documents they’ve submitted for review
Advanced search facility to search reviews effectively

Important Notes about the Peer Review Process

1. You should submit all customer deliverables/documents to the Peer Review Process
2. In case of any customer Escalations/Queries, both Requestor and Reviewer are accountable to address the
same.
3. In case of stringent timelines, where there’s insufficient time for a peer review, have parallel review started
i.e during the time of writing of the document, have the sections reviewed as they get completed.
4. While reviewing the document, kindly ensure it is not being checked /locked out for edition by some other
person at the same time.

in this document)
3. Based on the technology set you specify when creating the new request, a reviewer will be assigned to
review your document. You can see the list of peer reviewers.
4. Once Reviewer is assigned, he/she will start the review and share the comments with you in DRT
5. Address the comments and re-submit the revised document into the Design Review Tracker tool
