The Power of the Design Review
- 1. hello
- 5. It’s not about being the best It’s about being better than you were yesterday
- 6. We all wanna be better designers better at what we do create cool & beautiful stuff
- 7. Feedback plays a critical role in the design process.
- 9. Worst of all: there’s no meeting at all.
- 10. Design Reviews
- 11. Who uses it?
- 15. *Design review 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
- 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
- 29. Gracias!
