The team of "wise men" will sift through Operation Oxborough, the name given to the case, later this month.
That will involve checking the entire investigation at Kensington police station, examining the records of decisions taken and questioning detectives on the leads they have followed.
Police still have few strong leads in their investigation of last month's shooting in Fulham, west London.
50 officers on the case
Senior officers have stressed that the new officers should not be seen as implying any criticism of the handling of the murder hunt.
They could endorse the murder squad's work or suggest areas of inquiry that have been missed.
Sir Paul Condon, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, will receive a copy of the review team's report.
About 50 officers are working on the case, and the review will give senior officers valuable information on the resources deployed by the Yard.
It is one of the first reviews ordered after a radical shake-up of the way the force investigates murders following the bungled inquiry into the stabbing of black teenager Stephen Lawrence.
Sir Cliff interviewed
It is understood that every unsolved murder will now be subjected to a similar review after 28 days.
The murder squad are continuing to probe Ms Dando's private life, her work at the BBC and her associates.
Last week they interviewed her friend Sir Cliff Richard in the hope of unearthing fresh information about her private life.
