Every design marked "Ready for Dev" gets a matching Jira ticket
Doe scans Figma weekly, creates Jira tickets for unlinked designs, updates links when specs drift, and escalates handoffs stuck without sprint assignment for 7+ days.
Every Figma design marked "Ready for Dev" cross-referenced against Jira tickets weekly. Missing tickets created, stale Figma links updated, and handoffs waiting 7+ days for sprint assignment flagged automatically.
What changes
| Dimension | Before | With Doe |
|---|---|---|
| Handoff gap | Days or weeks between "Ready for Dev" and Jira ticket creation | Missing tickets created within 24 hours of the Monday scan |
| Spec drift | Dev builds from an outdated Figma version | Jira links updated automatically when the Figma file changes |
| Visibility | Nobody knows which designs are waiting for dev | Live tracker with status for every "Ready for Dev" design |
| Stale handoffs | Discovered when someone asks "what happened to that design?" | Flagged automatically after 7 days without sprint assignment |
How Doe tracks design-to-dev handoffs
Figma12 designs currently marked "Ready for Dev" across 3 projects. 4 have been in that status for over 7 days. 2 Figma files were updated after their linked Jira ticket was created (spec drift). 1 design has no linked Jira ticket at all.
Jira8 of 12 designs have matching tickets. 3 tickets link to outdated Figma versions (the file was updated but the Jira link still points to the old version). 1 ticket references a Figma file that was moved to a different project.
1 missing Jira ticket created (checkout flow v3, assigned to frontend backlog). 3 tickets updated with current Figma version links. 4 stale handoffs (7+ days with no sprint assignment) flagged to the engineering manager. Tracker: 8 on track, 3 updated, 1 created, 4 stale.
Designs get lost between Figma and the backlog
A designer finishes a spec and updates the Figma status. Nobody creates the Jira ticket. Or they create it but link the wrong Figma file. Or the design changes after the ticket is created and the dev builds from an outdated version.
A designer spent 3 weeks on a checkout redesign. She marked it "Ready for Dev" in Figma on January 8. The Jira ticket was created January 22, a 14-day gap. By then, the designer had iterated on the spec twice. The dev built version 1. QA flagged the mismatch. Two weeks of dev time wasted because the handoff was stale.

Describe what you need
“Every Monday, scan Figma for all designs marked "Ready for Dev," cross-reference each one against Jira tickets, create tickets for any unlinked designs, update Jira links where the Figma file has changed, and flag any handoff that has been waiting 7+ days without a sprint assignment.”
It runs on schedule
Runs every Monday morning. Handoff tracker updated in Doe, missing tickets created in Jira.
Design-to-Dev Handoff Tracker FAQ
Yes. Doe supports Jira, Linear, and Asana as the engineering task destination. The Figma scanning works the same regardless of which project management tool you use.
