The Product Review Rhythm That Scales

Most review meetings fail because they combine status updates and decision making in the same room.

A better structure

Run two loops:

• Tactical review (weekly): blockers, sequencing, owners.
• Strategic review (biweekly): direction, tradeoffs, bets.

Guardrails

• Decisions must end with owner + date.
• Open questions are tracked separately.
• No demo without user impact context.

Cadence beats intensity. Small, regular reviews create better products than occasional large rituals.
