Design handoff pack — {product / feature name}

  • Owner (Design):Version: 0.1.0
  • PFD: {link, version} Design Review gate: pending | passed {date}

Checklist (Design DoD)

  • Flows approved — every PFD scenario covered, including error and empty states (ux-flow per flow).
  • Data model passed Data + Security review — PII/sensitivity tagged, retention noted, ACORD-aligned where relevant (data-model).
  • Screen specs complete with full state matrix — default, loading, empty, error, denied (screen-spec).
  • Component mapping — every screen element maps to a named design-system component and tokens; no raw hex/px.
  • Prototype link recorded and marked throwaway (validation only — never a Build input).
  • SME sign-off on flows recorded (SME design validation).
  • Open questions triaged; zero blocking.
  • Traceability matrix complete (below) — no PFD scenario without a flow and screen.

PFD → flow → screen traceability matrix

Every PFD scenario/AC appears exactly once; a gap in any column is a Design Review blocker.

Open questions carried into Build

Non-blocking only. Each with owner and a date — an open question without an owner is a future defect.

The merge

Raise the pack as a PR into the product repo's design directory. Reviewers = the Design Review gate signatories; their approvals are the sign-off record. Once merged, Build agents consume these artefacts as context — any later design change is a new PR against the pack, not a side-channel conversation.
