And often this list doesn’t include a clear indication of why the changes should be made. Beyond that some of the changes might be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the time that Aaron and I have been sharing our thoughts on critique, we&#8217;ve had a lot of opportunities to speak with designers, developers, project managers, etc. about their organizations and how they&#8217;ve incorporated critique (or haven’t) as a part of their process.
