But they don’t tell you how to give negative feedback or ensure that you, as a teammate or manager, hear the small things before they become big things. Long version includes discussion of written feedback and managing up. Let’s talk about feedback and examine frameworks for how to ask for and frame feedback effectively. Not all situations call for the same type of feedback and some are more sensitive than others. We will look at Non-violent communication, techniques from family and marriage therapy, as well as more traditional frameworks for feedback.

Designers: how many times has a re-design taken 4 times as long as the developer said it would and not looked good in the end? Change all that by using an incremental approach to design. Set up your code to change all the buttons at once or prioritize design changes to make each small change good enough for production. A designer and developer will talk about the challenges and joys of making this process work in two production sites.
