IMPROVING DESIGN CRITIQUES

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Design critique is often misunderstood or misused across design teams, leading to confusion, misaligned expectations, and ineffective feedback. To fix this, teams should clearly distinguish between four types of feedback meetings—Design Critique, Design Review, Quality Review, and Design Shareout—each with its own purpose, participants, feedback type, and expectations, which helps improve design quality, alignment, and overall collaboration.
