The design-to-development stage can have lots of friction based on the simple fact that designers and developers perform fundamentally different tasks when creating a product. Good collaboration is vital for the success of the handoff, and communication must be reliable and transparent. The design team will hand off the project, including their final completed wireframes or prototype, along with the trust that the developers will finish the rest of the product as intended. Ideally, developers are brought into the design process early, participating in regular discussions and adding their own ideas. Feedback must flow freely between the teams as they exchange technical expertise and overcome spontaneous problems. Reducing the knowledge gaps between the parties by using tools that both sides are familiar with, and handing over all useful assets , will greatly smoothen out the process.
