  • Dimensions: people interfaces and code interfaces

  • Case A: (code interface: clear boundaries exist)

    • Case A1: External team(s) review each other’s code; Internal team uses a runbook and toggle

    • Case A2: Internal engineers do a one-time cursory review of the code when it is complete

  • Case B: (code interface: does not exist at all or refactoring of existing code)

    • Case B1: Internal engineers work side-by-side with external engineers

    • Case B2: Internal engineers context-switch and do a detailed review of the code by external engineers

    • Case B3: External engineers from different orgs review each other’s code

  • Case C: (people interface: external dev has merge rights)

  • Case D: (people interface: external dev has edX data rights and carries pager)
