SOFTWARE BUILD REVIEW · Workflow idea

Start a software build only when its purpose is clear.

Give a teammate a consistent way to request a build for a known software project. Review the target and reason first, then let an authorized person approve the run and inspect its reported result.

Reviews & approvals

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A request from a teammate to build a selected software project

“Confirm the intended project and build purpose, obtain any required approval, and make the reported outcome available to the responsible team.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Organizes requests to build software and helps the responsible team review the request before work begins and check the result afterward.

  1. Confirm who requested the build

    Check that the request comes from a teammate who is allowed to ask for work on the selected software project.

  2. Identify the project and purpose

    Make sure the intended project and reason for the build are clear before preparing the request.

  3. Check timing and expected impact

    Have the responsible team consider shared resource use, timing, and any planned work that could be affected.

  4. Get approval before starting

    Ask an authorized project owner to approve the exact project and request before a build begins.

  5. Review the reported outcome

    Check the available result and direct errors or unexpected output to the project owner.

  6. Keep build and release decisions separate

    Record the build status without treating a successful result as permission to publish or release software.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A reviewed build outcome for the approved request, or a clear hold when the project, purpose, or requested action needs clarification.

The handoff

A reviewed build outcome for the approved request, or a clear hold when the project, purpose, or requested action needs clarification.

Keep in mind

Starting a build uses shared systems and may create or replace project artifacts. Confirm the target and purpose, and require an authorized person to approve the run; this process does not approve a release.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the software projects in scope

List the projects teammates may request builds for and the people responsible for each one.

Set request and approval rules

Define who can request a build, what context they must provide, and who may approve it.

Agree on timing and result review

Set expectations for shared resource use, planned work, and who handles unsuccessful or unexpected outcomes.

Test approval and hold cases

Check an approved request, an unclear target, and a request without approval to make sure only reviewed work proceeds.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
