What is Design Judgment?
Making a deliberate choice when evidence and criteria don’t settle it, and saying why.
What you learn
When evidence can’t decide, choose, and say what would change your mind.
When it helps
several good options remain, and more evidence won’t arrive in time.
Use it at work
- List what the evidence settles and what it doesn’t.
- Choose, based on the purpose of the work.
- Write the reason for the choice.
- Name the signal that would make you reconsider.
Your output
When you make a call the evidence can’t settle, write down the reason and the signal that would make you reconsider.
Watch for
Waiting for more evidence, or deciding without stated reasons.
