Workload & status

Reviews only add value if they actually complete. TraceUnified gives both reviewers and coordinators the views they need to keep sessions moving and to see, at any moment, where each one stands.

Your review queue

Each reviewer has a personal view of the reviews waiting on them, with their own progress through the items. This turns “do I owe anyone a review?” into a clear, current list — so participation doesn’t depend on remembering, and a reviewer can see exactly how much they have left to do.

Participant progress

For a session as a whole, you can see how each participant is progressing — who has completed their part, who hasn’t started, and where the session is waiting. This makes the bottleneck visible: instead of wondering why a review is stuck, you can see precisely who it’s waiting on and follow up.

Session status

Every session reports its overall status — in progress, complete, and the decisions reached. The status reflects the real state of the work and the votes, so a glance tells you whether a review is on track for the gate it supports, such as a release or a milestone.

Escalation and availability

When a review stalls, escalation moves it forward — after the configured number of days, it escalates to the designated person so it doesn’t sit indefinitely. Reviewers can also indicate when they’re unavailable, so work can be routed around someone who’s out rather than waiting on them. Together these keep a review from becoming a silent blocker.

Completing the review

A session completes when its items have been evaluated and the required decisions recorded. The full record — the items, the comments, the votes, the decisions, and who made them — remains as evidence that the work was formally reviewed. For an approval review, that record is the signed-off basis the next stage builds on; reviews can also be exported for inclusion in your documentation.
