But you need to remember the document review process is there to ensure the right checks have been made before a document is approved and it has been managed in a way that aligns with your organization’s policies. It can often feel easy to err on the side of caution and send your document to loads of reviewers. If you are in doubt, what does your company policy say?

They have their own to do lists after all. Just remember that the more people you send a document to, the slower the review process will be. Ask yourself – do you really need to send this document to the entire team? Probably not… but it can easily feel like the right thing to do. It’s at this point you should take a moment to pause.
