Handoff to Engineering

Use this when the work is approved and engineering needs to build it. Completeness, specs, flows and edge cases, then a walkthrough. This is not a critique.

  1. 01Finalize

    All screens, all states, breakpoints, approval. If a state is missing, you are not handing off.

  2. 02Spec

  3. 03Behavior and copy

  4. 04Walkthrough

    Walk the flow with engineering. Answer the weird cases. Agree on questions that are still open.

Frequently asked questions

Does Figma inspect replace this?

No. Engineers still need behavior, empty states, and copy. Inspect is measurements. It is not the flow.

A few states are missing. Hand off anyway?

No. Missing empty, error, or loading means you are not ready. Finish those, or call it a critique and keep designing.

We never ran a critique. Start here?

Only if the work is already approved. If it can still change, run a critique first so engineering is not the first review.
