- Key components of the FigJam board included project overview, success metrics, user journey mapping, and documentation of challenges.
- The design kick-off meeting started with a project overview to ensure all stakeholders shared a common understanding of the project's purpose.
- Setting clear, measurable goals before designing helps in avoiding revisions and ensures alignment with project objectives.
- Visualizing requirements through a user journey map helps in connecting the dots, identifying pain points, and focusing on real user problems.
