📌 Why this matters

Integrating Figma with Jira closes the gap between design and development by making design files directly accessible inside Jira issues. Teams no longer need to switch between tools to review the latest mockups, reducing miscommunication and speeding up handoffs. The Figma for Jira app keeps design and engineering workflows aligned in a single project management environment. This integration is essential for agile teams that want to ship faster by keeping design context visible throughout the development lifecycle.
