How top teams drive alignment and ship faster
Most digital teams work in silos: PMs in Jira, designers in Figma, engineers in VS Code or Cursor. This creates predictable problems:
- Designs misread in build, requiring redlines
- Missed edge cases slowing engineering delivery
- Weeks of back-and-forth instead of progress
- Teams spend more time on rework than features
When teams can't translate intent across disciplines, delivery suffers. Product talks requirements, design talks pixels, engineering talks code. Without shared context, simple changes become complex projects.
Research shows companies lose over $1.6 trillion annually to misalignment and rework. But high-performing teams have found a better way.
What's in This Guide
- 5 proven practices to align design and engineering
- Team scorecard to expose your biggest friction points
