Figma release cadence

Problem

Our current approach to managing Figma releases lacks structure, resulting in challenges in effectively communicating new Figma releases.

Description

  • There is a need to establish a more structured approach to managing Figma releases.
  • This involves implementing clear processes for announcing new features, deprecating properties within components, and managing other aspects of Figma releases.
  • A structured approach will improve communication, organization, and coordination throughout the release process.

Notes:

Initial Goal: At the moment, we're focused on figuring out how to organize the pushing of our kits and documenting the process. We're also considering putting designers on a rotation to share this responsibility, similar to how developers do.

Later Goal: As we move forward, we may explore leveraging the same Slack bot currently used for dev-related announcements to organize tasks into "dev" and "design" categories.

Guidance

Announcements

@Kritvi-bhatia17 Our team discussed this with Juan. I wrote down tasks but we definitely can update these tasks if we need to refine them more. We'll need to have write-out guidance for each feature on the "Read Me" page and make a monthly announcement on Slack.

Got it @thyhmdo, thanks for the update. Sounds good!
