Evaluate the Inspection Process of A-Soft:

Your Company has a long tradition of conducting rigorous Inspections on each and every of its work-items. A deeper look into the process reveals that the Inspections follow the following process:

After completing the work on a Work-item, the author of the work-item initiates the Inspection process. He/She invites his/her Manager and can carefully selects the required participants (maximum 5) and go-through their Schedule-diaries to find a suitable time slot. He then invites the participants for that time-slot and books a Meeting Room for the Inspection purpose.

During the Inspection process, the Author presents his Work-item to the participants. The participants provide their view points and the final outcome of the discussion is noted by the Manager.

Apart from the participants invited by the producer, the Manager has to invite 2 people as observing participants. The main objective of the Manager and these observing participants will be to evaluate/provide feedback about the skill-set of the author.

At the end of the Inspection session, the Author needs to submit the final findings of the Inspection to the Manager.

The Manager needs to evaluate the findings and determine if any rework is required and assign that work to any of the peers of the Author.
