5.1 What is developer handoff?
We’ve put in the work, and now it’s time to turn pixels into code! In this lesson, you’ll learn what developer handoff is, its challenges and how to make it successful.
Key learnings
Make sure your developers have everything they need: wireframes, mockups, style guides, and documentation!
Handoff is all about building a shared language. Try to distill the foundations and patterns of your design into cohesive rules that devs can turn into code.
There’s no need for the Mac app or any third-party plugins to hand off your designs. Simply invite developers as Viewers to your Workspace for free and start the conversation!
