Why clean handoff improves development in Figma - Dashboard Impact

Dashboard Mode - Why clean handoff improves development

Goal

Understand how a clean handoff from design to development improves the software development process.

Sample Data

Project	Design Completeness (%)	Handoff Clarity (1-5)	Development Time (days)	Bug Count
Alpha	90	5	20	3
Beta	70	3	30	10
Gamma	85	4	22	5
Delta	60	2	35	15
Epsilon	95	5	18	2

Dashboard Components

• KPI Card: Average Development Time
  Formula: Average of Development Time column = (20+30+22+35+18)/5 = 25 days
• KPI Card: Average Bug Count
  Formula: Average of Bug Count column = (3+10+5+15+2)/5 = 7 bugs
• Bar Chart: Development Time by Project
  X-axis: Project
  Y-axis: Development Time (days)
  Shows how development time varies by handoff clarity and design completeness.
• Scatter Plot: Handoff Clarity vs Bug Count
  X-axis: Handoff Clarity (1-5)
  Y-axis: Bug Count
  Shows that higher handoff clarity relates to fewer bugs.
• Table: Project Details
  Shows all columns from sample data for detailed view.

Interactivity

Filter by Design Completeness (%) range: When user adjusts this filter, all charts and tables update to show only projects within the selected design completeness range.

Filter by Handoff Clarity (1-5): Selecting a clarity level filters the data shown in all components to projects with that clarity rating.

Self Check

If you add a filter to show only projects with Handoff Clarity = 5, which components update?

• Average Development Time KPI updates to average only projects with clarity 5 (Alpha and Epsilon: (20+18)/2 = 19 days).
• Average Bug Count KPI updates to average bugs for clarity 5 projects (3 and 2, average 2.5).
• Bar Chart updates to show only Alpha and Epsilon projects.
• Scatter Plot updates to show only points where clarity = 5.
• Project Details Table shows only Alpha and Epsilon rows.

Key Result

Dashboard shows how better design handoff clarity reduces development time and bugs across projects.
