How do you conduct design reviews at your company? Who generally signs off on the designs? What are the inputs/outputs for the review (wireframes, full interaction specification, etc.)? How about recommended books/templates/resources on this topic?
---------------------------------------------- Design reviews with the product development team are the most interesting and challenging activity. We use low-fidelity prototypes (that demonstrates sequence of interactions) during design reviews. A short review is first conducted with the design team or with couple of co-designers to get feedback on the designs. This also gives the designer a chance to check if he has adequate convincing explanations for why the designs/interactions are designed in a certain way. During the design review with product team, the designer leads the session telling the story explaning what the product requirements are, the different concepts he came up with, scenarios where some concepts wouldnt work and what his final concept is. The team might accept the design or propose changes and the designer should be prepared to answer why the changes would work best or wouldnt work for the user in a given scenario. A final verbal agreement is made between the product lead and the designer at the end of the session. There might be list of changes to be made to the design or the design might be agreed as the final design. The meeting notes, agreement or proposals are documented somewhere at the bottom of the wireframe so the team can look back at any stage during the cycle and recollect why such decisions were made. -Suba Periyasami ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
