Automating API Delivery
An API review process is a defined workflow for evaluating and approving API designs against stated principles, standards, and business needs.
- How it is used
- Evaluates API definition changes after automated checks, using human feedback to address usability and design decisions those checks cannot settle.
- How deep it goes
- Provides PR and meeting paths, a meeting sequence, review questions, and process-design goals; leaves exact governance rules to each organization.
- Examples
- Contrasts Slack’s review channel and office hours with Kubernetes’s mandatory-review criteria, triage board, and release-based prioritization.
- What you can do after
- Practice/perform a consumer-focused PR review and choose between asynchronous feedback and a meeting according to the change’s scope.
Think Like a CTO
A review process is a structured evaluation of a person's work, performance, progress, or development over a defined period.
- How it is used
- Uses structured feedback to improve executive performance, leadership, and organizational alignment.
- How deep it goes
- Explains review criteria, recurring conversations, feedback mechanisms, and handover use, but stops short of prescribing a formal scoring system.
- Examples
- Uses CEO one-to-ones, team leadership feedback, a workplace sitcom scenario, and review-based CTO handover discussions.
- What you can do after
- Practice/perform regular reviews, request actionable feedback, set goals, and use review history to support leadership transitions.
