# Configuration review service

The configuration review service evaluates a single CircleCI project and delivers a findings report. Your field engineer meets with the team that manages the project to learn about the use case and goals. After a two-week analysis, depending on the size of the project, your field engineer delivers findings. If additional help is needed to implement requirements, additional consultative time is scheduled.

Findings typically include:

*   Optimization recommendations tied to your goals, such as cost savings or performance.
    
*   Feature options for your use case.
    
*   Right-fitting execution environments.
    
*   DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) recommendations.
    
*   Solutions specific to your project’s use case.
    
*   How your field engineer uses CircleCI data to analyze the project.
    

## Benefits

Teams who engage in a configuration review benefit from:

*   A more optimized CI/CD pipeline that improves spend and engineering efficiency for the reviewed project.
    
*   Best practices tailored to the project’s use case.
    
*   More self-service to apply improvements across current and future projects.
    
*   Proactive identification of knowledge gaps, training needs, or service requirements.
    
*   Faster user onboarding in the reviewed project.
    
*   A clearer understanding of CircleCI data and how to use it.
    

## Intended audience

Configuration reviews are most useful for projects that:

*   Started using CircleCI in the last six months.
    
*   Have made a recent major change to their configuration.
    
*   Have a heavy throughput.
    
*   Contain complex pipelines.
    
*   Are used as a template for other projects.
    
*   Are showing negative metric trends.
    

Anyone responsible for writing or maintaining the CircleCI configuration for the reviewed project should be involved.

Developers who work on the project can gain a clearer understanding of what CircleCI does under the hood.
