Here's what Kagi Universal Summarizer has to say about it:
- Engineering crits at Figma are dedicated time for engineers to get feedback on work in progress, brainstorm approaches, and unblock each other early in the design process.
- They aim to find a middle ground between design critiques and technical reviews by focusing on exploration and feedback rather than approval.
- Running crits in FigJam allows many people to provide feedback simultaneously in a collaborative way rather than taking turns.
- The format encourages parallel conversations through sticky notes rather than sequential or comment thread styles.
- Crits have become core to early, middle, and sometimes late phases of technical design work at Figma.
- Engineers are asked to prepare by creating a FigJam file summarizing their design for quick feedback.
- Feedback is led by suggestions rather than mandates to encourage many perspectives.
- Crits help focus on specific challenges by bringing in relevant experts.
- The overall process aims to accelerate work by getting feedback earlier compared to later technical reviews.
