Use Case
Automated Role-Based Reviews with Granular Approval Controls
In enterprise-scale software development, code review isn’t just a best practice — it’s a critical control point for quality, security, and compliance. But as teams grow and repositories expand into monoliths or microservice bundles, managing who should review what becomes increasingly complex. Bitbucket’s native reviewer options offer basic defaults, but lack the flexibility to enforce conditional, file-specific, or role-based approvals.

Workzone’s Reviewer and Approval Configuration solves this by enabling granular control over who is assigned to a pull request and when, based on both branch and file/module patterns.
For example:
- If a PR modifies code in src/ui/**, Workzone automatically adds the UI team and requires 2 approvals from that group.
- Backend or test changes trigger different reviewer groups with their own approval quotas.
- In release workflows, the QA team, release manager, and project manager can be added with differentiated roles: some required to approve, others only notified.
- Reviews can be gated behind a successful build, ensuring reviewers only see stable code — reducing churn and wasted cycles.

This approach goes far beyond static reviewer defaults. With Workzone, enterprise teams can:
- Guarantee ownership and accountability over different code areas.
- Enforce approval thresholds per group or file path to align with internal policy or regulatory standards.
- Reduce human error in reviewer selection and quota enforcement.
- Track all review activity with digitally signed approvals for audit-readiness.
For enterprises operating in regulated industries or with strict DevSecOps policies, this level of control ensures that every pull request is reviewed by the right people, for the right code, at the right time — all without relying on manual coordination or developer discretion.
