Design Critique

Come eseguirlo

1. 1

   The designer presents: (1) what problem they're solving, (2) who the user is, (3) what the design is trying to achieve. No explaining the design itself yet — just the goal.

2. 2

   Observers ask clarifying questions only (no feedback yet): 'Who is this for?', 'What's the primary action?'

3. 3

   Designers give a structured tour of the work.

4. 4

   Structured feedback round — each observer uses the framework: 'I notice [observation]... I wonder [question]... I suggest [specific recommendation].'

5. 5

   Designer listens without defending. Takes notes.

6. 6

   Optional: dot vote on the most important suggestions.

7. 7

   Designer closes with a brief statement of what they'll change and what they won't — and why.

Suggerimenti

• 'I don't like it' is not feedback. 'The primary action is hard to find because it competes visually with the navigation' is feedback.

• The presenter's job is to listen, not defend. Train this explicitly.

• Ground all feedback in user needs: 'A first-time user would struggle to...'

• Keep critiques short and frequent — 30 minutes weekly beats 3 hours monthly.

Variazioni

Silent critique: all feedback written on sticky notes first, then read aloud — prevents the loudest voice from dominating. Remote critique: use Figma comments or Miro annotations for async reviews.
