Ques:

(b) A proposal for changing an inspection procedure involves adding a new reporting requirement, as follows: "At the end of the session or the series of sessions, the inspection leader will submit to management a copy of the inspection session findings report and a copy of the inspection session summary report." It is recommended to avoid the suggested change since its disadvantages outweigh its advantages. The management has several alternative sources of information about the project's quality and detects defects, to mention one - the formal design review. The possibility to keep the open nature of a peer review, bearing no control of higher levels in the organization, is of special importance. pros: The report will provide management with an additional and earlier feedback source of information that will improve management's control. The requirement to report to the management will cause the report to be more balanced and of higher quality. . Cons: The awareness of the contents of the report being checked by management will change the nature of the inspection session to being less open. As authors will consider the possibility that a negative inspection report will harm their promotion prospects or the level of their next task, they will strongly object to any suggested criticism of the document and try to diminish the number of review findings. On the other hand, participants will hesitate to raise discussion on subjects that need clarification, taking into account that the discussion, no matter its results, may harm their colleagues when management checks the report. ii.
