What is the entry criteria?

Q: What is the entry criteria? A: The entry criteria is a checklist, or a combination of checklists that includes the "developer's checklist", "testing checklist", and the "PDR checklist". Checklists are lists of tasks that have to be done by developers, testers, or the facilitator, at or before the start of the PDR. Using these checklists, before the start of the PDR, the developer, tester and facilitator can determine if all the documents, reports, code blocks or software products are ready to be reviewed, and if the PDR's attendees are prepared to inspect them. The facilitator can ask the PDR's attendees if they have been able to prepare for the peer review, and if they're not well prepared, the he can send them back to their desks, and even ask the task lead to reschedule the PDR. The facilitator's script for the entry criteria includes the following questions: Are all the required attendees present at the PDR? Have all the attendees received all the relevant documents and reports? Are all the attendees well prepared for this PDR? Have all the preceding life cycle activities been concluded? Are there any changes to the baseline?
