Representation Options While all projects should use this work product, the level of formality will be differ from project-to-project based on factors such as how formal the relationship is between customer and developer, or how formal the developer's own organization is with regard to process compliance. For example, the project charter may state that reviews are subject to audit: in this case the work product will typically be treated as an auditable record of the review and its conclusions While this work product is primarily used to capture the results of a review, it can also be used as a specialized work order or control document to manage the execution of the review. When used for this purpose it is issued to the participants in the review prior to the review meeting to initiate the review activity.
