Set Up Review Process

Configure review infrastructure, pick a strategy, and define reviewer roles and permissions.

Configure Comment-Based Reviews

Enable inline commenting on risk items for lightweight, iterative feedback during analysis drafts.

Configure Approval-Based Reviews

Capture per-reviewer sign-off as approval-tagged comments to support ISO 26262, ISO 14971, and other standards.

Configure Work Item-Based Reviews

Create review tasks as Polarion work items with lifecycle tracking, assignees, and dashboard reporting.

Manage Cross-Project Reviews

Coordinate reviews when risks, requirements, or tasks span multiple Polarion projects.
Start with comment-based reviews for informal feedback during early analysis. Use approval-based reviews for per-reviewer sign-off aligned with ISO 26262, ISO 14971, or IEC 61508. Use work item-based reviews when review tasks must appear in Polarion dashboards and sprint plans. The three strategies are mutually exclusive — you configure exactly one per sheet.
Risksheet approval review creates approval-tagged comments but does not trigger Polarion’s formal approval state transitions (draft -> reviewed -> approved). Approval evidence is captured as structured comments on risk items; the surrounding Polarion document workflow remains under your project’s standard rules. Plan compliance evidence accordingly.

​
Staged Risk Assessment with Saved Views

Reviews pair with saved views to support a staged assessment workflow: identification -> classification -> mitigation -> residual assessment -> final review. Each stage exposes a different subset of grid columns so reviewers focus only on the fields relevant to that step — severity, occurrence, and detection during classification, then residual ratings and audit fields during final review. Define one saved view per stage in your sheet configuration and route each review round to the matching view.
Review process setup depends on Polarion document workflows and user permissions. See Configure Permissions for role-based access control and Set Up Review Process for the initial configuration steps.
