SynaBot summary
Figma's product team adopted a collaborative approach for developing nested folders, treating code as a proposal and handoffs as dialogues. This method prioritized diverse team input over a single product manager's vision.
Key takeaways
- Code treated as a collaborative proposal, not final decree
- Handoffs transformed into ongoing team conversations
- Product thinking distributed beyond the product manager role
- Focus on matching skills to specific project needs
