Team roles and responsibilities

Clear roles and ownership make design audits more effective. Like a well-coordinated team sport, each member needs to understand their part in the evaluation process. This clarity helps prevent missed areas and duplicate efforts.

Key audit roles include:

  • Lead auditor: Coordinates the process and ensures consistency
  • Design evaluators: Examine specific interface areas
  • Technical reviewers: Check implementation feasibility
  • Stakeholder liaisons: Connect audit findings to business goals
  • Documentation owners: Maintain organized audit records

Understanding who does what helps teams work efficiently and ensures all aspects of design get proper attention.[1]

Pro Tip: Create a RACI matrix for your audit team. It clarifies who needs to be Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, or Informed.
