Where you are
You mentor a junior designer for one hour each week. The current project has sixteen screens, research notes and an incomplete client brief.
Escenario 7 · Rol A
quien acompaña como mentora
You can review decisions, but you cannot become the project owner
Esta ficha es solo tuya. La otra persona tiene objetivos y datos distintos. No intercambien pantallas hasta terminar.
Supportive and firm. A junior designer has sent you an entire project folder for review. You start. About 10 turns · 9 minutes.
Your screen only. Don't show it. Define what mentoring includes, learn where the real risk is and leave ownership with the designer.
Tu información
Lo que sabes y lo que necesitas
You want
You want the designer to choose a direction and use mentoring for two high-risk decisions rather than hand over the entire project.
You can't
- Review all sixteen screens before Wednesday.
- Approve client scope that has not been confirmed.
- Join every client call or rewrite the designer’s presentation.
Only you know
- You have ninety minutes available this week: Monday now and Thursday at 4:00 p.m.
- A useful review needs a one-page decision note with evidence, options and a recommendation.
- You can attend the first fifteen minutes of Friday’s presentation if the scope is confirmed by Thursday noon.
If you finish with nothing
The designer waits for you to make every choice, while the uncertain scope remains hidden until the client presentation.

Cuándo terminar
Closing criterion
Close with the final scope still postponed when both people record:
- The two decisions selected for review.
- The decision-note format and Thursday preparation time.
- Who owns the navigation recommendation.
- The two unconfirmed segment options.
- The Thursday 11:30 client decision and checkpoint.
- The condition for mentor attendance on Friday.
Success: You provide ninety minutes, a decision-note method and conditional presentation support without taking ownership. Both people record two review topics, preparation and the unresolved client confirmation.
Después de hablar
Conversen sobre cómo les fue
- ¿Qué apoyo ofreció la mentora sin convertirse en dueña del proyecto?
- ¿Por qué la evidencia de usuarios sí permitía recomendar navegación pero no definir el segmento?
- ¿Qué quedó aplazado y qué quedó decidido?
- Resuman el plan usando “owns”, “reviews” y “remains open”.
