Hiya, Peer review is undoubtly critical for unbiased design delivery and quality output from any group. Most design groups work in a collaborative environment. Its a brilliant idea to not only involve peers in design reviews but also design conception. A standard guideline is to ensure that no design leaves the design group till it has been reviewed by at least one fellow designer. At times even non-UX designers can offer unbiased opinions on the design done. The only issue with peer review is managing it. Other designers need to understand the value of peer reviews and this has to be instilled in by the team leaders effectively. Time commitment needs to be prioritised for such an exercise in a busy design setup. A typical peer review could start with a quick tell of what the problem statement is, who the end users are and how the issues have been solved. Keep not more than 2 hours for the exercise to keep it short and effective. One can use design heuristics as quick check points for the review. I've found it to be very effective this way.
