Practise the standard verbs for running a design doc review to a clear decision.
0 / 5 completed
1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a design doc covering the alternatives considered and their trade-offs, not just the chosen approach, so a reviewer can actually evaluate the decision.'
We 'draft a doc' — the standard, simple collocation for writing an initial version of a design proposal. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Sharing a design doc without naming specific reviewers can ___ the document sitting unread for weeks with nobody feeling responsible for commenting.'
We say no named reviewers will 'leave' a doc unread — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting delay. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every open question directly in the doc's margin as a comment, rather than raising it only verbally in a meeting nobody else attended.'
We 'review' a doc — the standard, simple collocation for reading through and assessing a proposal in detail. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a risky assumption clearly in the doc's status, rather than letting silence from a reviewer be read as implicit agreement with an unverified claim.'
We 'flag an assumption' — the standard, simple collocation for marking a risk clearly for others to see. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a design doc with a recorded decision once every open comment is resolved, so the outcome is unambiguous for anyone who reads it later.'
We 'approve a doc' — the standard, established collocation for formally signing off on a proposal once review concludes. The other options aren't the recognised term here.
