Without an equivalent to InVision, we now have junior designers basically controlling the the bulk of the presentation narrative to stakeholders. Because the juniors built the Figma file, we let these juniors show stakeholders through their poorly-labeled works in progress. Later, we see stakeholder cursors buzzing around like flies while we work. This feeling of eyes constantly looking over your shoulder was never a problem with Sketch.
Figma comments are a disaster. I am tagged in over 300 Figma comments a day. It creates bad habits where people use it for exploration, ideation, and entire stakeholder conversations, instead of for small notes and corrections. This type of “collaboration” isn’t really collaborative at all, it’s more reactionary. It also gets stakeholders used to commenting on unfinished work instead of having a proper dialogue during an actual presentation of the work. The rate at which comments come in cause interruptions that psychologists say can add unnecessary stress to your work day.
CD1, you are right. But this is how they do it in-house. When in-house, there’s no account cover. You have to rely on people using the tools correctly. They don’t.
The reason why I am blaming Figma is that it enables bad behavior to such an extreme that it negates all the convenience and time savings from its cloud features. Sketch + InVision was never so chaotic, because it forced a presentation layer.
Good luck trying to tell 50 managers at a Fortune 100 corporation to tell their direct reports to start making presentations again. They won’t do it.
Completely agree. Rather than have a conversation, my Product Owner or other Stakeholders would add dozens of comments to the Figma. They acted like writing a comment was the same thing as communicating with me about the design, when what was really needed was discussion. It is hard to explain to someone in a comment why you designed it the way you did and why their personal preferences aren't enough to make changes to the design.
Figma has changed the way we work, and I agree that it isn't for the better. I much preferred the days when we'd have a formal "Design Review" and we - as designers - owned the documents.
Your organization allowed this to happen, either through intent or laziness. Just because Figma has the feature of allowing users/ppl to add comments into files does not mean you have to use it, do away with design reviews, etc. This take on this thread that it's Figma's "fault" is madness.
