Design Handoff

Handoff is where design intent meets engineering reality. A poor handoff produces a poor implementation, regardless of how good the design was. This skill ensures every decision is documented clearly enough that an engineer who was not in the room can implement it faithfully.

When to Use

• Design critique is complete and issues are resolved
• Design work is ready for engineering implementation
• Engineering team needs specifications for components, layouts, or interactions
