While I myself have never been a part of a design review meeting, i still feel that such meetings are very important in the production process of a product. As a new idea is being developed, it goes through many changes in order to comply with any and all new restrictions that appear after the initial approval. Having such a meeting after all the changes is a great way to catch everyone that’s a part of the project, from the customer to the project manager, up and verify that all the needs and restrictions are being met. It gives an opportunity to fix any issues that may arise before they have a chance to arise in the verification process, which would just slow the entire project down. Most importantly, it reassures everyone whether or not the product is meeting the requirements of the customer even after changes have been made, and if not, they are able to identify which issues need to be fixed before moving on to the next stage.
