I have a love-hate relationship with marking up a Figma file. I take pride in adding the final touches to a design, thoughtfully making sure that all the specs and measurements are represented. Maybe it’s a text note, an arrow, or a quick callout, or maybe it’s extra context that communicates the intent behind a design choice as much as the design detail itself. Marking up a file can feel like a time suck, even though it can make a big difference in the product development process.

At Config 2021, Figma’s virtual design conference, we announced FigJam, our new whiteboarding space. Long before we launched FigJam in beta, teams across Figma had been using it for everything from user research to Maker Week projects. Here, Product Manager Emily Lin shares how she and the product management team at Figma use FigJam for everything from brainstorms to retrospectives, along with templates to get started.
