I do not have experience in a design review meeting at a company but I do believe that these meetings are very important. In the beginning of the project/design, there are meetings to discuss what is necessary for the product and how that will be accomplished. These meetings are after each stage is complete which helps to keep track of where the product is on the timeline, what needs to be fixed, how much more time is necessary, and see if there are other problems that occurred that haven’t been addressed earlier. These meetings help to modify the product so that there aren’t any issues later down the road or at the end when the product is finished. These meetings also help with what the customer wants and if it’s going in the right track. Agendas are required so that each meeting is facilitated properly and every point is covered. For my senior design project, we would have meetings with our advisor to see where we were on our project and he would help us try to figure out any solutions to our problems. If it wasn’t a group meeting with our advisor, we would have our group leader talk to our advisor and keep them updated on the project as a more informal design review meeting. These meetings helped us decide how to go forward with our project and if we were on the correct timeline. I believe at companies, there are walkthroughs and meetings to make sure everything is on track and to address issues that arise. These meetings are usually with the managers of each department.
