Overview
Bridge the gap between Figma files and production. You will practise annotation, acceptance criteria, and async rituals that respect engineering constraints.
What you work through
- Spec templates for layout, interaction, and accessibility
- Checklists for edge cases and empty states
- Story slicing exercises with mock engineers
- Versioning habits when files churn mid-sprint
- Office hours for a real file review (redacted)
Outcomes
- Produce a handoff pack developers describe as “usable on day one”
- Write acceptance criteria tied to measurable interface behaviour
- Run a short async review that resolves ambiguity before build
