The Developer-to-Designer Handoff Workshop
Communication gaps during build? Align PMs
About this session
When design files are handed over without a shared understanding of edge cases or technical constraints, development often stalls or requires expensive rework. This session allows Product Managers to facilitate a direct exchange between design and engineering to confirm feasibility and finalize requirements before building begins.
Why it works
By focusing on specific build-time questions rather than high-level aesthetics, the workshop forces technical and creative teams to align on implementation details. This immediate documentation of decisions ensures that the handoff results in a clear roadmap for the sprint rather than a list of unanswered questions.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
Who it’s for
