Design Critique Session

A planned period of time where UX designers present their work to team members and listen to feedback

Why it matters

Critique is a skill on both sides: the presenter frames the problem and the stage of the work; reviewers critique the design against its goal, not against their taste. Without that frame, critique decays into opinions ranked by seniority.

The numbers

Frame first — what problem, what stage, what feedback would help
30-45 minutes — past that, critique becomes wordsmithing
