After the Critique
- Designer summarizes takeaways
- Action items with owners and deadlines
- Follow-up review if needed
Critique Types
- Desk crit: Informal, 1-on-1, quick feedback
- Team crit: Scheduled, structured, full team
- Cross-team crit: Fresh eyes from outside the project
- Stakeholder review: Decision-focused, approval-oriented
Common Pitfalls
- Designing by committee (too many opinions, no direction)
- Focusing on personal preference instead of user needs
- Critiquing too early (exploring) or too late (polishing)
- No clear next steps
Best Practices
- Separate exploration critiques from refinement critiques
- Critique the work, not the person
- Always tie feedback to goals and user needs
- Rotate the facilitator role
- Make critique a regular ritual, not an event
