Ask HN: How do you do design-review at your company?
We're a product team of 6, in a company of 20 people. We've tried to implement design-review to be like code-review, but we're having limited success. We've talked about:
- Reviewing "every line" of a design
- Assigning designs to named reviewers, who should request changes, and then approve
- A checklist of criteria the design must meet
Problems we've hit:
- Design review is missed entirely before coding starts.
- Reviewer barely scratches the surface, and misses huge issues
- Most tickets/designs don't say whether review was passed or not
How do you handle this at your company? What tools/processes do you use?
