Objective
The purpose of the Design Review (DR) is to review a Partner’s shadow project before the customer signs off on design and the solution is built to answer questions and provide best practices. The review includes deep dives of SOW’s, design documents, risks, and project plan. This applies to Partners enrolled in the Global Channel Partner Accreditation Program.
