Russ Unger | @russu Rules of Critique* • Do treat each other with respect – remember your idea is next • Do encourage and embrace the craziness • Do keep on track – time is limited • Do get new ideas on paper – write, draw, scribble • Do build on the ideas of others • Do question the design • Don’t judge or shoot down ideas based on your preferences • Don’t talk over each other – everyone has a voice • Don’t be a jackass! *applied to real-life engineers - results may vary Courtesy of Bennett King @skunkwUrX
