Best Practices for Giving Critique

Productive critique has the ability to strengthen relationships and collaboration, improve productivity, and lead to better designs.

Lead

with questions

Use

a filter

Talk about strenghts

Think about perspective

LEAD WITH QUESTIONS

By asking questions you give yourself more information on which to base your analysis and give stronger, actionable feedback. It can also show the designer that you’re genuinely interested in his work, and the thinking behind it, which can make discussing the project easier.

USE A FILTER

Hold on to your initial reactions, investigate them, and discuss them in the proper context. Ask the presenters additional questions if necessary to help you understand your reaction. Does the reaction relate to the objectives of the product, the audience for it, or any particular best practices that should be followed?

TALK ABOUT STRENGHTS

When we talk about aspects of a product or design that are working, there is the potential for the designer to examine those areas and abstract concepts or elements from them that could be used to strengthen other areas of the design that might not be working as well.

THINK ABOUT PERSPECTIVE

When you examine an aspect of the design and comparing your perspective to what you think the user’s might be, you’re off to a good start. From there you might find that one is clearly more appropriate than the other, or perhaps it might be best to bring both up in the discussion.

Best Practices for Receiving Critique

Receiving critique in a way that is productive goes beyond just asking for it and then sitting back to let others give you their thoughts.
