Running Design Reviews

This is a framework for running design critiques that actually follows a hierarchy: value first, then usability, then aesthetics. It's based on advice from product leaders like Julie Zhuo and structures reviews around specific feedback requests rather than wandering commentary. The main idea is to stop pixel-pushing before you've validated whether the thing solves the right problem. Use it when you're setting up design review processes or when feedback sessions keep devolving into subjective debates about colors. The question prompts are solid, especially "What would make this not shippable?" One thing I like is the emphasis on reviewing interactive demos instead of static decks, which catches real problems slide decks always miss.
