1. RevMan demos [Q1Q2Q3-2025]

Roadmap




Product team OKRs

  1. Objective: Drive uptake of the focussed review format
    KR: When we switch the remaining reviews to FRF, there are no requests to roll them back to the old format
  2. Objective: Reduce opportunities for errors in submitted text
    KR: The number of reviews that pass the QA editor check for "Possible data entry errors" increases by 20%
    KR: The number of reviews that pass the QA editor check for "Key findings consistent across the summary versions" increases by 20%
  3. Objective: Improve the usability/stability of RevMan
    KR: Post-submission, users are 'somewhat satisfied' or 'very satisfied' in at least 95% of cases.
  4. Objective: Improve data interoperability with other tools in the review production ecosystem
    KR: An additional 2 tools support the import or export of RevMan data, including 1 guideline development tool.
