Continuous Design

Does your design team share the essential feedback needed to challenge? Does your design critique add sufficient value or is it just another tick box activity?
In this session, Gianni will discuss how he rolled out a new design critique process across Zendesk, discussing the difficulties faced prior and how it has evolved into a consistently productive and enjoyable part of the design process.

  • The importance of design critiques
  • Ensuring your team puts the critique in design critique
  • How to create a process that is both systematic and dynamic
  • How to make it engaging, while ensuring value
