A simple design-review board that keeps questions moving

Write one question per card

Describe the issue in a way another person can locate and investigate. Include the room, drawing reference and the activity or dimension involved. If several unrelated questions are bundled together, part of the card may be completed while the rest is forgotten. Split them into separate actions that can move independently. Clear cards reduce the need for repeated explanations and make it easier to see where progress is actually blocked.

Define evidence and responsibility

State what information would answer the question and who should obtain or review it. Confirming a ceiling height may need a section reference or a measurement, while comparing layouts may need a client decision. Do not assign technical confirmation to someone simply because they can edit the model. A board should reflect the project responsibilities already agreed by the team, not create professional authority through an interface label.

Use stages that describe work

To do, In progress and Complete can be enough for an early concept board. Moving a card should mean that a defined action has changed status, not that the entire project is approved. For each completed question, keep a note of the answer and supporting reference. If a drawing revision changes the underlying evidence, reopen or replace the relevant action rather than relying on a historical Complete label.

Keep the board connected to the package

Review notes should identify the model and drawing versions they concern. Before exporting a concept, summarize the questions that remain open and the checks actually completed. TranslateDesign's current board is local to the browser, so another person will not see updates automatically. Use an agreed shared record for multi-person work until synchronized accounts are connected, and avoid treating local member planning as real access control.

• Keep each card focused on one question.
• Name the evidence and responsible reviewer.
• Record the reason a question was closed.
• Recheck cards after source revisions.
