Before: what you give it
The example input, as typed in. You paste text, CSS, markup or notes.
description: a three-step onboarding flow for a budgeting app stage: wireframe minutes: 45
After: what comes back
The first lines of a real run on that input. Nothing here is edited by hand.
Critique plan: wireframe stage, 45 minutes
Framing statement (fill the brackets):
This is a three-step onboarding flow for a budgeting app. It is at the wireframe stage, so test structure: what is on the screen, in what order, and whether the task works. I am looking for feedback on [one or two specific things]. I am not looking for feedback on: visual style, colour and type.
Agenda:
7 min Frame it: Presenter reads the framing statement and shows: The key screens in grey, joined in the flow someone would walk, with the task stated.
9 min Silent review: Everyone reads and writes notes alone, one note per sticky, each as what I see, then what it does for the person using it. This stops the loudest voice setting the room.
22 min Feedback rounds: Go round the room once for observations only, then once for suggestions. The presenter listens and writes down, and answers questions of fact only. Park anything outside the framing.
7 min Decide: Presenter reads back the three notes they will act on, and any they are setting aside with a reason. Name an owner and a date for each.
