Overview
The formal outputs from the project (milestones and deliverables) pass through a formal review process. The review process provides staged deadlines during the process to ensure the output is available to the EC at the end of the project month (PM) that the material is due.
The review process for a milestone and a deliverable is identical except for:
- Milestones are expected to have
- two reviews produced by reviewers;
- reviewers: 1 external, 1 Activity Managers Board member
- are not delivered to the EC
- Deliverables are expected to have
- three reviews produced by reviewers;
- reviewers: 1 external, 1 Project Management Board member or reviewer appointed by a PMB member, 1 Activity Managers Board member.
- three reviews produced by reviewers;
Where possible, the reviewers are selected from relevant EGI’s functional areas (i.e. Operations, User Community, Technology and Policy) that are not directly involved in the production of the output.
