Has anyone else worked with teams where their entire idea of "product" was to create 100s of designs in Figma, and then just hand them to developers?

What started this mentality?

Yup. This is far from new. Used to be getting a zip file full of low quality photoshop exports and you would have better luck pulling teeth out of a cranky tiger(1) than getting proper assets (or the raw files) out of the art team.

My favorite was the PowerPoint presentation. Didn’t happen to me but I’ve heard about it.

1: Somewhat redundant. Any tiger you try to get teeth out is likely to be cranky before you finish the retrieval.

I like the PPT - it is more like a wireframe!

Yes, similar to the photoshop days. I forgot all about those. Has been almost 10yr since I had that happen!

PPT doesn't bother me because it's very "what we need" not "how we need it" so I don't have to worry about the specifics and instead can focus on (and ask questions about) the intent of the feature.

I think you misunderstood. It was a powerpoint with images in it, not a wireframe. It show how site navigation worked, which was a huge improvement... minus having to dig the images out one at a time. :D

At least they didn't use document links with absolute paths. Macs don't have have a C:\Documents and Settings\Clueless\ folder. Encountered that a few times in my career.

i would consider even powerpoint lucky compared to an excel file with a bunch of images or even the design being made out of cells, rows and columns... yes, you read that correctly lol.

for all that trouble it still beats getting `design.jpg`
