When should peer reviews be scheduled in relation to a client review?

• A. One to two days before the client review
• B. After the client review
• C. At the same time as the client review
• D. Several weeks after the client review

Answer: (A)

Peer review acts as an internal quality check before presenting work to a client. Scheduling it one to two days before the client review gives the team a short, focused window to surface issues, discuss improvements, and implement changes while the feedback is still fresh. This keeps the client review efficient and shows that the work has been vetted by colleagues. If the peer review happens after the client review, you miss the chance to address problems before client involvement. If it occurs at the same time, there isn’t a dedicated period to incorporate fixes. Waiting several weeks after means issues linger and the client may encounter outdated work. So, the best practice is to have the peer review completed one to two days before the client review.
