A Design Review is a milestone within a product development process whereby a design is evaluated against its requirements in order to verify the outcomes of previous activities and identify issues before committing to - and if need to be re-prioritise - further work. The ultimate design review, if successful, therefore triggers the product launch or product release

A design review is a milestone within a
product development process whereby a
design is evaluated against its
requirements in order to verify the
outcomes of previous activities and
identify issues before committing to -
and if need to be re-prioritise - further
work. The ultimate design review, if
successful, therefore triggers the
product launch or product release.

16. So we developed a
formal process

18. why?

19. 1. Be Better at Critique & be open to
critique
2. Ask why?
3. Be good at meetings/calls
4. Find what ways work for your team
5. Don’t lose quality
6. Include Dev’s
7. Clear up objectives
9. Everyone can be better

20. Rules
Every project must have at least 1
critique session every 2 weeks
No more than 6 people per session, to
keep things moving
Bring new people to each session, so we
get a broad perspective
The project's primary designer should
be present to run the review and hear
feedback firsthand

21. TeamReviewers Moderators

22. TeamReviewers Moderators

23. Not all feedback is good

24. Don’t be scared

25. Things to keep in mind
Keep things moving—don’t let a
discussion drag on or let 1 person
dominate the discussion
If people disagree with an idea, write it
down to vote later
Remember that not all feedback is good—
plan to disregard many ideas

26. After the review, work
with the feedback

27. You are
not your
designs.

29. Gracias!
