From Design to Production: Why Handoffs Still Break (and How Top Teams Fix Them)

​Design looks done. Tickets are clear. Teams are strong.

​So why do handoffs still break?

​Join two product leaders for a live panel on where design-to-production workflows actually fail — and how top teams reduce friction without slowing delivery.

​Modern product teams have never been better equipped.

​Design systems, detailed specs, async tools, and well-defined roles are all in place.

​And yet, design-to-production handoffs still break.

​Intent gets lost. Edge cases slip through.

​Problems surface late, when they’re expensive to fix.

​In this live panel, two experienced product leaders will share:

• ​How design-to-engineering handoffs actually work on their teams

• ​Where intent gets lost between design, tickets, and code

• ​Why misalignment often shows up late — even with strong processes

• ​What top teams do differently to reduce rework and surprises

​This is not a tool demo or a sales talk.

​It’s a candid conversation about the real tradeoffs product teams navigate every day.

​

​What We’ll Cover

• ​🎨 How design decisions make it (or don’t) into production

• ​🔁 Where handoffs break between design, product, and engineering

• ​⚠️ Common failure points teams underestimate

• ​🧠 What “good handoff” looks like in practice
