Need a way to solve this? If you’re interested in how other #designOps professionals manage @figma and this issue, there’s an ongoing discussion in @DesOpsAssembly. Please DM me too. I can share my process.

To upgrade to the Enterprise tier in @figma nearly doubles our yearly budget - just to lock down editor upgrades like other tools. #designOps

Unless #UX teams upgrade to the next tier (Enterprise) in @figma, #designOps professionals need to create elaborate systems to monitor “self-upgrades” and avoid overages.

What’s the issue? It’s how @figma makes it easy for users to upgrade viewers to editors. Teams that budget for a certain amount of users must constantly monitor for new users that have upgraded themselves. #designops

It’s budget time for teams. And in #designops we need to look at the number of licenses we need for certain tools like @figma. If you are a UX Manager or do anything with operations and have Figma, then you should be aware of the tool’s access issues.

@jlengstorf Clapping for you dear Jason.

I ran out of coffee beans and still managed to get through three hours of morning meetings without weeping please clap

Appreciate all of the hard work the volunteers at @UXYall put into making a great experience for the #UX community in #Raleigh. Lessons from helping to build UX practices at multiple companies. It all started from crying in Alaska.

Thanks @egburnam for sharing. And thank you @UXYall for giving me the opportunities to bring these experiences to Raleigh. #UX #UXdesign #designOps

@cameronsandage With the appropriate icons and guides for screen readers of course LOL

@engmatthew But those are not fully accesible. But yes lol.

In the last year Ive had to explain why we should be building responsive UI to work on smaller viewports (tablet/mobile)… its 2022 shouldn’t this just be a given at this point?

Thought provoking conversation about #DesignSystem and how it should address the product —> portfolio —> company —>… and then we got the subject of addressing regional sensibilities. #Asia. #Japan and then lingscars.com came up as an example of visual brain freeze.

I feel this is crucial for anyone #onboarding to a new team. It helps fill in gaps as to what their assumptions are and clarifies expectations #ux #designOps

At the beginning of my next 30 days of #onboarding as the #DesignOps manager for @resmed. I presented back to my team about who I am, what Ops is, and what to expect from me.

@cport1 Miss you

End of week 4 #onboarding as my teams new (and first) #designOps manager. Here’s one of the tools that I have adopted to help me make sense of all the information I am absorbing. #ux #Notebooks

My lesson(s) from the last time I onboarded to a new role was that I needed something I can easily go back to and remind myself of a conversation, idea, or reference. #Notebooks are a great, under celebrated tool. #UX #onboarding #designOps

Today I had an exciting conversation with a Sr. Technical Program Manager. We immediate learned where we can help each other on the planning and tracking side of #jira by pulling in #UX teams that are ready to integrate their issues on product boards.

Allies in #designOps are crucial. A lot of my work is to help with #UX integration such as getting our work visible and shareable with our #product teams.

Week 4 of my onboarding as a #designOps manager for my #UX. Today, I found a key partner on the Technical Program Manager side.

@jlengstorf But think of your long-term gut health!

My stress is approaching “order a shitty pizza and eat the whole thing” levels. None of that fancy, “real ingredient” nonsense — gimme a Pizza Hut pan pizza and I’ll wring the oil out of the crust directly into my mouth until there is only numbness.
