Technical Peer Review - Vested Interest of Reviewers

Vested Interest of Reviewers

There are two philosophies about the vested interest of the inspectors in the product under review. On one hand, project personnel who have a vested interest in the work product under review have the most knowledge of the product and are motivated to find and fix defects. On the other hand, personnel from outside the project who do not have a vested interest in the work product bring objectivity and a fresh viewpoint to the technical peer review team.

Each inspector is invited to disclose vested interests to the rest of the technical peer review panel so the Moderator can exercise sound judgement in evaluating the inspector's inputs.

Famous quotes containing the words vested interest, vested, interest and/or reviewers:

    Of all the anti-social vested interests the worst is the vested interest in ill-health.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Came vested all in white, pure as her mind.
    Her face was veiled; yet to my fancied sight
    Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shined
    So clear as in no face with more delight.
    But, O! as to embrace me she inclined,
    I waked, she fled, and day brought back my night.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    The yuppie idea of the future ain’t my idea of a future. Your safe car, and home, and job, and all the time rushing between the three—let’s make people feel they can grow up and have some education, some interest in life! That’s what counts!
    Joe Strummer (b. 1952)

    Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
    Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
