Give me a short checklist for a design critique that stays specific. I want something I can run before I call the work done.
a design critique that stays specific, minus the vague advice
Sharing the wording because it gave me something I could check instead of a confident wall of text.
Use this pass:
- The goal is one sentence and names the user or decision
- Inputs are current, relevant, and traceable
- Assumptions are visible
- Name the user decision first
- Check the keyboard path
- Remove one competing action
- One failure case has been tested
- The next owner and next action are clear
If you cannot check an item, mark it unknown. Do not quietly treat unknown as done.
Saving this. The unknown-versus-done line catches most of my shortcuts.
