1) Commits don&#x27;t have to be blocked. The action items from a review can be a separate commit.<p>2) Reviews can be done privately, with comments entered electronically. There doesn&#x27;t have to be a four-day meeting.<p>2a) Organizations that use four-day meetings are likely full of people who need something to charge that time to. It may be worth delegating a representative from the engineering team to attend those.<p>3) Action items must be triaged.  Ideally, each action item would be assigned a number and numbers grouped together as a statement of work for a commit. This is much less painful than it sounds. Test provenance would also be nice per commit.
