How to Ask a Question in a Meeting

If you feel like a meeting is off track, ask the question: Is this the right topic? Or flip the table on your way out and then make sure people know. I have worked for several agencies with very designer-centric cultures. In these cultures, developers are treated as second class citizens reduced to digital construction workers whose concerns aren't given enough consideration. The most effective method for moving a designer off of a bad idea is to build the broken idea and let them use it. Once they see and experience the broken idea, they generally change position and the product gets better.
