The Handoff Gap.
The Handoff Gap.
Quantifying the friction.
Teams don't ship slowly because they're lazy. They ship slowly because design-to-dev is a maze.
If your execution cadence is unstable, you pay for it in rework, misalignment, and missed market windows. This isn't a design problem; it's a workflow optimization failure.
Symptoms of System Friction
- Specs change after engineering starts
- Design gets 'approved' but doesn't ship
- PRs stall due to unclear requirements
- QA is subjective and happens too late
- Offshore delivery creates re-explanations
- Roadmaps drift from decision fatigue
The Execution Protocol
01
Audit & Map
Identify existing failure points in your Figma-to-Linear pipeline.
02
Protocol Design
Define a handoff standard that engineering can actually follow.
03
QA Standardization
Implement 'Definition of Ready' to prevent late-stage surprises.
04
Pilot Execution
Pressure-test the new system on one live product feature.
05
Systemization
Document, train the team, and ensure the process is repeatable.
