Design reviews are a crucial and more formal part of the design process. Reviews are used to ensure the necessary stakeholders are in the loop and feedback is continuous. It’s the responsibility of the designer to make sure that reviews happen on all features. The format and cadence of the reviews depends on the feature and the team. Below are a few types of reviews we follow.

Design reviews with feature teams

...

These can happen either synchronously in an ad-hoc meeting or asynchronously through messaging on Mattermost.

Design reviews in the Spec Reviews Channel (asynchronous)

Sharing work in the Spec Reviews Channel is a great way to gather feedback asynchronously from relevant team members while also giving visibility to the broader organization and open-source community. It also gives insight in to into our design process and the new features the team is working on.

Mobile v2: Channel Files view

Summary: In the webapp, we have a way to view files posted in a channel. However, the mobile app does not currently have any way to do this. Users expect to see parity between webapp and mobile with features like this, so we need to add this to the channel experience on mobile. The proposed solution is to:

  • Add a ‘Files’ option to the channel info modal

  • Tapping this new ‘Files’ option would take users to a child view of the channel info that shows files in the channel.

  • Leverage the patterns used currently in the global search view with files

  • Show files by recency (most recent files posted in the channel)

  • Infinitely load more files on scroll

Stage: 80% draft

Sharing work in Design Critiques

Design critiques, are an informal time to give/get feedback on any work in progress. Crits are meant for designers only, this is not meant to exclude other disciplines, we’ll hold Design Reviews for the broader audience. Crits are a great way for designers to share ideas, no matter what stage you are in in the design process, in a safe and judgment-free space. You don’t need to prepare ahead of time or have a formal agenda, the crit is meant to be short and sweet.
