Establish clear roles

Everyone in a critique has a role they must play. The three roles we rely on are presenter, audience, and facilitator.

• The presenter is the individual sharing work, their role is to: Succinctly describe the problem being solved (or ideas being explored) and present design or content solutions they have come up with
• The audience's role is to: Understand the problem statement and context and ask a lot of questions
• The facilitator’s job is to: Create a schedule for each critique in advance, ensure that everyone in the group stays on the agenda, take notes during critique to help those presenting.
