In the product design process, designers often need to become familiar with the product documents and conduct sufficient research before starting the design. But these research documents are generally numerous and scattered, so we need a clear, interactive record to facilitate other team members\u2019 written communication. Everyone involved should get to know the overall thinking and process of our product design. In my opinion, a complete interactive document often includes the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Title and version number;<\/li>
- Change Log and meeting times;<\/li>
- Basic product introduction and design background – Usually chosen from PRD;<\/li>
- Product Architecture and User Flowchart;<\/li>
- Interaction Flow Planning, Content Layout, Interaction, and Feedback (In-Interface);<\/li>
- Visual Script and Style Guide.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

Other than that, the critique meeting is a crucial way to improve the efficiency of cooperation. Different critique meetings will contribute to the decision-making in different phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe small<\/strong> design criti<\/strong>que meeting<\/strong> <\/strong>is the most common. It often appears in the initial design draft stage. Designers can schedule a small gathering and call members from other functions – such as product managers, developers, etc., to collect design feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O<\/strong>nline communication feedback<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>often follows the small Critique meeting, sends the\u00a0Change Log summary to the project group, and sends\u00a0the latest version of the interactive document. This\u00a0way, new and uninformed team members\u00a0can learn about your\u00a0latest design ideas by viewing the documentation and communicating\u00a0with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In large-scale design critique meeting<\/strong>, which generally occurs when there are some directional changes in the design, the participants not only include all team members (dev, PM, designer, researcher) but also sometimes clients and leaders participate; they will provide some product business strategies support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
