LUMA - Heuristic Review
Heuristic evaluation is a fast way for experts to find usability problems in designs. It uses established principles (heuristics) to systematically evaluate an interface. Reviewers check if the design follows rules like 'provide clear system status' or 'help users recover from errors'. It's quicker than user testing and identifies many issues early on.

Participants will:
- Find usability problems.
- Apply expert knowledge to design review.
- Identify issues early in the process.
- Save time on user testing.
- Document problems effectively.
- Guide design improvements.
You'll get:
- Expert heuristic review findings.
- Systematically identified usability issues.
- Prioritized list of improvements.
Have reviewers work alone initially to avoid bias. Encourage a systematic approach, covering all parts of the interface. Good documentation is key. Focus on the most critical issues first. I once had a team get bogged down in minor visual details; remind them to focus on usability.
