reviews should focus on the relatively small scope of a release and how it aligns to the enterprise architecture. Similar technical reviews can be decomposed to the release level.  DO continuous planning sessions to drive collaboration and strengthen teaming arrangements.  Ensure that once a clear architecture is in place, systems engineers continue to refine it as they learn more from the development
