This is not a one-shot deal. Time should be incorporated at each milestone to examine the design document, modify it and track the progress of the asset building timeline. The last part of risk management is creating your own post mortem document. Every lead artist should take responsibility for creating a post mortem with each artist, including the art director, contributing to it. Encourage the artists to use the post mortem as a professional, analytical tool, rather than a forum for expressing their complaints.
Nothing detracts more from the legitimacy of a document than emotional team bashing.
