Introducing a timer to FigJam

Inside Figma: how our PM team uses FigJam

“Long before we launched FigJam in beta, teams across Figma had been using it for everything from user research to Maker Week projects. Here, Product Manager Emily Lin shares how she and the PM team at Figma use FigJam, along with templates to get you started.”

Collaborating and connecting in FigJam

“Last week, we launched a timer in FigJam, allowing you to start, stop, and pause activities as a team. There are so many ways to work collaboratively in FigJam, so we talked to Figmates across the company to learn how they come together in the file.”

The five stages of an effective brainstorm

“FigJam was built as a space for teams to ideate together, so we wanted to dive a bit deeper into the earliest stage of collaboration: brainstorming. Product Marketing Manager Wayne Ng spoke to Cristen Torrey on the research team and Andrea Helmbolt on the growth marketing team to get their tips on running and facilitating an effective brainstorm.”

Coming together at Config 2021

At Config 2021, Figma announced six new ways to collaborate and bring you and your teammates together — their 2nd product FigJam, branching (currently in beta to Org accounts), a new mobile app, voice chat, higher user limits, and publishing to the Figma Community for everyone.

Introducing FigJam

FigJam is an online whiteboard made for designers to ideate and brainstorm with their extended teams. Think of it as a lightweight version of Figma that’s easier to learn and even more fun to use. It’s for defining user problems, looking for inspiration, and exploring ideas.

Figma’s next product is a multiplayer whiteboard called FigJam

Protocol on a new product: ​“FigJam is a simple tool for brainstorming, and the next step toward the company’s vision for a multiplayer internet.”

Great tip: you can copy a magnetic arrow from FigJam to Figma, and it will keep working!

Copy-paste a variant into FigJam from Figma

Another good tip, this time from Miggi. Love how tightly the apps are integrated!
