So you\u2019ve completed all your designs and handed them to development, and are ready to kick back and start the binge-fest when that damn dreadful question suddenly hits you- \u201cWas my design good enough?\u201d <\/em>and within moments one question spirals into an existential crisis that we all are too familiar with – \u201cAm I a good designer? Am I just pretending to know what I\u2019m doing? All I\u2019m doing is playing with shapes on the screen\u201d<\/em>. The crippling feeling of impostor syndrome overpowers your binge-fest and stops it even before starting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WELL!! Let me stop your overthinking right there. What if I told you there IS<\/strong> a way to measure the quality of your work and an industry-tested method at that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First things first, let\u2019s start with understanding what Benchmarking is<\/em><\/strong> and how it helps designers ascertain the quality of their work.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is Benchmarking?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is a process that uses various metrics to gauge a design’s relative performance against a meaningful standard.<\/a> The \u201cmeaningful standard\u201d<\/strong> here can pertain to an earlier version of the same product, an industry average, or even a competitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So How Does Benchmarking Help?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It allows designers and stakeholders to track improvements of a product over time and assess if the required progress has been achieved. Most importantly, it can show the design\u2019s impact, be it time-related or fiscal costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metrics for Benchmarking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many metrics for benchmarking. What you end up using for your product may be an amalgamation of various metrics, depending on what\u2019s relevant to your product specifically. In general, there are some common categories that you can refer to, to compute where your product is succeeding and failing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
