This situation is very common in projects. Software design and writing code produces visible results such as the software module or use case that can be viewed and tested. You can't see or view the result of project review. If project reviews are done correctly and properly, and the project progresses without major issues, no one will acknowledge or miss the importance of project reviews. The importance of project reviews are often overlooked.
In my experience, project reviews, if done correctly and properly, keeps the team focused, productive and more importantly, effective. In my opinion, it is a critical activity.
However, how many would agree to this? If the project is on track and progressing well, no one will acknowledge this point. If the project is failing, some may acknowledge this point, others will blame the software design, code quality, coding standards, scope creep. While there is some truth in this, project reviews help prevent major catastrophes and at least, identify and highlight such catastrophe may be on the horizon and the team needs to take corrective action.
