How AI Is Eliminating the Design-to-Development Handoff
The wall between design and development is well-known, well-documented, but where is this going?
For decades, enterprise software teams have treated design and development as separate phases connected by a design-to-development handoff. AI is beginning to collapse that distinction.
Most designers face this on a daily basis. You open the production build, pull up the Figma file next to it, and start comparing. An interaction that took two weeks to get right in the prototype got quietly swapped for something simpler somewhere between the handoff and the sprint review. The developer would tell you the build matches the ticket, and they'd be right. The designer would tell you it doesn't match the design, and they'd also be right.
Design-to-development handoff is the process of translating interface designs into production software. Traditionally this involves designers creating interfaces in tools like Figma before engineers implement them in code. Differences between design intent...
