FigJam

“Where we came out of was that board meeting was let's go differentiate by making FigJam fun. The team was like, what? We're gonna make fun our differentiator? And in retrospect, it was absolutely the right move.”

“We did a design sprint where we're able to rapidly explore all these different ideas for features and ways to shape the product. I mean, I think we camped with like, 20 ideas that day. A few of them made it to FigJam and have became a, I think, very definition…”

“I don't think all the things that we've done in FigJam apply to Figma Design. Figma Design is like a, you know, we don't want to get in your way. So it's been a cool place to experiment with fun and playful concepts in FigJam. We can do more there on the play …”

“I kid you not, two weeks later, every team in our company was doing a FigJam. It just blew up like that. And it's that sort of thing that that's how software gets in. And we didn't even, you know, for the most part, IT didn't know Figma was even in the company…”

“You know, FigJam, brainstorming. It was a behavior people were doing in Figma. We saw it, especially as the pandemic hit. It's like, okay, let's pull it out into this new product. And slides. Like, people are creating all these slides in Figma design. Okay, gr…”

“We use Figma the way that everyone uses Figma, but we use FigJam on steroids. Like, every single activity in this company is done in FigJam. It's like, our product reviews are in there, our Gantt charts are in there, our bug bashes are in there, like, every si…”

“I sort of set up like a recurring cadence with the folks in our sales team in order to understand like, okay, like, what are you guys hearing? And then I would share what was coming. And then I would use their input as signal as to like, what should be priorit…”

“I actually made, like, a Loom video walking through my, like, weekend FigJam that our sales team later distributed to a bunch of companies to inspire them as to, like, hey, not only can you use FigJam for this, you can use FigJam for, like, X, Y, Z.”

“At the company, you know, some of our most monumental launches have come out of hackathons and have come out of bottoms up projects. So like recently this week, we had a launch of multi-edit, which was like a long clamor for a feature where folks can, you know…”

“We did in record time from the start of the project to shipping a beta. I mean, it was like six to eight months and I thought it was really fast.”

“That's a really important part of that Asian process is this feeling of safety of play. And if you can make people feel more at home even through silly things sometimes like stickers or emoji reactions or waving your cursor around and high-fiving people. Curso…”

“I think Figma did a really great job with the launch of FigJam. It was smart feature development to bring in a different section of the market with a product that plays very nicely with their core offering.”

“We have this one called the alignment scale, which is a widget that you can insert into FigJam or Figma design actually, but, and we use it all the time. So basically, it's just a simple scale. And whenever people click it, their face appears on one end of the…”

“They have just been an execution machine. For a really specific problem, and they kind of stood up against an external, what could have been a threat in FigJam, and they've done really well through that as well.”

“What ultimately became the idea of FigJam that launched in twenty-twenty-one Is the opposite of what they did with their original products, their flagship products, which took years to build in stealth. They built from end to end in six months. That was out in…”
