Review processes

Review processes balance quality with velocity. Too many approvals slow teams down. Too few risk inconsistent or inaccurate content. The sweet spot depends on your content's impact and complexity.

Build tiered review systems. Minor updates might need only peer review. Major changes require stakeholder approval. Legal or compliance content demands specialist sign-off. Match review intensity to risk level.

Automate where possible. Use content management tools that route reviews automatically. Set clear deadlines. For example, 24 hours for minor updates, 3 days for major changes. Track metrics to identify and eliminate bottlenecks in your process.^[1]
