How to Streamline Your Figma to Jira Handoff

Design-to-dev handoffs should be clean, fast, and crystal clear. But if you're still manually translating Figma files into Jira tickets, you know the truth: they’re usually anything but.

You jump between tabs. You lose context. And somehow, what felt like a finished design ends up spawning three Slack threads, a Zoom call, and a bunch of “Can you clarify this?” messages from your dev team.

There’s a better way, and it starts with rethinking how you connect Figma to Jira.

Let’s break it down.

The handoff problem no one talks about

Design and development tools have never been better. But the space between them? Still broken.

Here’s what typically happens:

• The design team wraps up a flow in Figma

• A product owner or designer starts manually documenting it in Jira

• Things get lost in translation — user intent, edge cases, component behavior

• Developers start building based on assumptions

• Rework, misalignment, and frustration follow

What should feel like momentum quickly turns into a bottleneck.

What a great handoff looks like

Now imagine this:

You’ve just completed a Figma flow. You click once and instantly get:

• A complete user story

• Linked visuals from Figma

• Clear acceptance criteria

• Optional test cases

• Exported directly into the Jira backlog, fully structured and ready to go

No guesswork. No rewrites. No “Did we include that state?”

That’s what modern teams should expect from their workflow.
