Ways of Working
How might we standardize our workflow processes and harmonize the way to work within a quickly growing team?
Problem
Our team quickly went from 2 designers to 10. Unfortunately, our current ways of working were not scalable. Design files were everywhere and hard to manage, and miscommunication often happened during the handoff process. We needed the team to work closer together and clean up any ambiguity happening.
Solution
→ A new handoff process for design, development, and business analysts
→ A robust Figma best practices toolkit
→ A new version control process for each feature file
→ A single source of truth for coded features, user flows, and business logic
Responsibilites
→ Standardized processes to support high-quality design outputs
→ Connected with multiple roles to identify process pain points
→ Used Figma as a tool to bring multiple roles together for smoother delivery
