Writing Design Tickets That Work
The idea for this blog post was born from a challenge that most designers will recognize: tickets. I was working on a high pressure project and the tickets had become more of a blocker than a launchpad. This was noticeably slowing down my workflow. Don’t get me wrong, the intentions behind each ticket were good, but the execution often left gaps.
