Design audit stakeholders

Design audits involve different teams and roles, each bringing unique perspectives to the evaluation process. From designers and developers to product managers and business stakeholders, everyone plays a specific part in making audits successful.

Understanding stakeholder roles helps organize the audit process effectively:

• Designers provide expertise in visual consistency and user experience
• Developers share insights about technical constraints and implementation challenges
• Product managers bring business context and user needs
• Marketing teams contribute brand requirements, while business stakeholders help align improvements with company goals.

A RACI matrix helps clarify these roles. R (Responsible) handles the work, A (Accountable) owns the decisions, C (Consulted) provides suggestions, and I (Informed) stays updated. This structure prevents confusion and ensures efficient collaboration throughout the audit process.
