Flags deep dive: Unused design hand-offs

Modified on Mon, 3 Feb at 7:50 AM

When to use this Flag?

Leverage this flag to get visibility on completed designs that are not planned for build, therefore unused.


Impact:

Process

Classification:

Effort

Tools:

Atlassian Jira, Figma

Intent:

The intent of this flag is to connect to Project management tool (e.g. Jira) & Design tool (e.g. Figma), unearth all the designs that are completed but not planned for build. There could be valid reasons for not taking all the designs into build but there is a good chance that it was completely missed by the Scrum team; this flags allows the team to align & leverage completed designs/requirements for build. 

The Engineering manager/lead in alignment with the Product/Design lead can move relevant items to Jira (either as net new story or attach designs to existing stories) for execution.


Configuration:


  1. Marking a section in Figma as a handoff section (using the out of the box dev handoff Figma functionality) or Using a bunch of key words that identifies handoff sections (if the team is not using Figma dev handoff function).
  2. Enable auto-resolution settings and select "creating issue in jira backlog for the items" as the option, this will ensure that the platform automatically moves all issues (breaking the threshold) to the backlog as individual items (i.e. one issue per file) or as a group (i.e. one issue for all the files).
