The fastest way to fix the #1 handoff issue in product teams.
Designers and developers often work in silos, with designers using Figma and developers relying on tools like Azure DevOps. But design handoffs remain a major pain point:
92% of designers and 91% of developers think there’s room for improvement in the handoff process
— Figma: State of the Designer 2025, page 12
The problem: manual handoff = lost time and errors
The typical workflow still looks like this in 2025:
- Finish designs in Figma
- Write up tickets manually in Azure DevOps
- Copy and paste titles, descriptions, and Figma links
- Hope nothing gets lost in translation
- Repeat — for every screen, every sprint
This process wastes time and creates friction across teams.
“Design intentions and specific requirements are often lost in translation between designers and developers.”
— Laurent Thiebault, Engineering Manager at Decathlon, page 13
The solution: connect Figma to Azure, automatically
That’s exactly why we built the Figma to Azure plugin — a simple tool to bridge the gap between your design files and Azure DevOps work items.
With one click, you can:
- Auto-generate tickets (titles + descriptions)
- Attach Figma frame previews to work items
- Customize fields like tags or acceptance criteria
- Save hours on handoff
Teams that use digital collaboration tools like Figma report higher job satisfaction, better workflows, and clearer handoffs

Why this matters: focus and velocity
- Designers stay focused in Figma
- Developers get context-rich tickets
- Product managers skip being middlemen
- Teams ship faster
“Better collaboration doesn’t just mean a faster time to market, but better quality products… and it can affect the entire culture of an organization.”

84% of designers and over 75% of developers collaborate weekly — and those who collaborate more often report higher job satisfaction
— Pages 10–11
58% of designers and 69% of developers using collaborative tools say it directly improves their satisfaction

Final thoughts
Azure DevOps is powerful. Figma is essential. But using them together shouldn’t feel like dragging bricks between buildings.
With Figma to Azure, your design handoff becomes a one-click experience — not a time sink.
So stop wasting time copy-pasting. Start building smarter.
