Design Review

A design review aims to identify potential issues, validate design choices, provide feedback for improvement, and ensure that the design aligns with the desired objectives and specifications. This process helps mitigate risks, optimize the design, and enhance the project’s overall success.

 

A design review should include an evaluation of the design's functionality, aesthetics, feasibility, adherence to requirements, and considerations for usability, manufacturability, and safety.

 

The materials that should be reviewed during a design review will vary depending on the project but typically include the following:

  • Design documents

  • Technical specifications

 
 
Simply stated, the questions we often ask ourselves during the design review process are:

  • Does the design meet the requirements?

  • Is the plan feasible to implement?

  • Are there any potential problems with the design?

  • How will the design be tested?

  • How will the design be maintained?
