When to use the design to dev handoff checklist
You're a design lead. You finish a mockup and need the dev to implement it. The handoff is 10 items: export assets, write specs, record Loom. Slack buries it all.
- Create a "Design → Dev Handoff" mission with every deliverable as a task.
- Share in Slack - the developer checks items off as they consume them.
- Comments keep context: "Hero image is 4K, you can compress it."
