Apply a tailored “ready for review” checklist to ensure a PR is in a state where detailed code review will be productive.

Tests should be included in the same pull request as the code changes they test; this provides verification, eliminates risk, and guarantees no-fuss rollbacks.

When approaching a code review, determine whether the pull request is reviewable before diving into the actual code.

By sharing in-progress work, you can invite early feedback, integrate with CI tools, and foster trust and transparency within your team.

Early code reviews, when used thoughtfully and aided with clear communication, save time and improve team morale.

After I submit a PR for review, it remains my top priority until it's fully integrated into the codebase.

Software development teams can save time and avoid frustration by establishing a shared definition of "ready for review."
