Attendees @kelenelee @hdchangie @LeslieCi @hannahcarlan @kangina-tech @winoue90
Yas is on vacation. I lead the all-hands tonight and presented the preliminary findings from the product manager interviews. Debbie asked for feedback on the new lighter blue banner, which I approved because it matched the cover art closely.
Hannah raised concerns that the research objectives for the next study don't feel clear. We decided that the next research meeting on the 4th should address this
Attendees @hannahcarlan @winoue90 @hdchangie @kelenelee
Short meeting today. We asked Wataru for feedback on the research plan and whether the research will fulfill the design team's needs. He approved of it. The research team was concerned that the research plan as it stands wouldn't be actionable for the design team, but Wataru finds that having designers walk through their file will be very helpful for designers to see what Figma file characteristics work vs don't work. Although the designers have seen other teams' Figma files, they want to hear from the designers themselves to truly understand their point of view, and figure out what organizational systems work, what doesn't, and what they wish could be better.
Wataru also suggested releasing the Kit, V1, once cover page, start here page, file menu page, and housekeeping page are done. V2 with more design system things like color, typography guidelines will be in V2. He will propose this to the design team this week 8/11 and at the next all-hands 8/15 once PM @allthatyazz is back
Dongchen suggested that the research could also investigate the collaborative aspect of understanding / finding out the latest iteration of a given design.
Attendees @hannahcarlan @winoue90 @hdchangie @kelenelee @nasimbiglari
We discussed Wataru's suggested plan for releasing the Kit, V1, once the cover page, start here page, the file menu page, and the housekeeping page are done. V2 with more design system things like color, and typography guidelines will be in V2. And the team agreed on this plan.
PM followed up on the stage of the 3 documents requested by PM during the research meeting on 7/28. https://github.com/hackforla/design-systems/issues/142#issuecomment-1199899264
Attendees @hannahcarlan @winoue90 @hdchangie @kelenelee @rachelita2 @sandraberjan
We discussed the release plan for V1 of Figma Kit: once the designs are ready and reviewed, we would publish the V1 along with a release note to HfLA #General slack channel and the #UX/UI CoP. The team has the option to ask the stakeholders to push the implementation of V1 but this is not favorable at the moment because we like to see what will happen organically. Also, we can post on each project's slack channel and open the discussion with their PMs and designers. The next stage would be doing the post-launch research with the goal of enhancing the V1.
We had a discussion about the possibility of changing the name of "Figma Kit". Sandra raised the initial concern that the naming came as a result of a meeting with only 3 people and the name might be confusing for users.
(PM note: The original naming of the product was Figma Foundation. Originally, we were thinking the problematic part is the word Foundation and not Figma. I still think Figma Kit sets more straightforward expectations for users who are designers familiar with similar terms and have seen and used different UI kits. Imagine they would see a link somewhere on a HfLA toolkit page and they would have a much easier time recognizing what the Figma Kit would be about. Design Kit does not have a similar impact. )
@allthatyazz i'm going ahead and posting these notes I took. please feel free to edit this

@hdchangie will be stepping back as of this meeting. in case it has not been documented elsewhere in Github, @hannahcarlan @LeslieCi @tamalatrinh @winoue90 have been hired for other positions as of several weeks ago.
Moved product v1 release from end of Sep to end of October. Cover page min req to be researched more and revisited. @kelenelee to

Attendees @allthatyazz @kelenelee @sandraberjan @rachelita2 @winoue90
I presented a slide deck of insights and recommendations based on 3 1-on-1 interviews I had with designers from different teams, who talked about their Figma file and the way they use it and their self-reported needs.
Attendees @allthatyazz @kelenelee @sandraberjan @rachelita2 @winoue90
A potential new researcher Ayah came to observe this meeting. Yas went over Bonnie’s feedback of our team from their 1-on-1. I presented my recommendations based on two observation sessions I did with two design teams. Sandra presented the copy she worked on this week. We debated the pros and cons of releasing the product in two weeks.
Attendees @allthatyazz @winoue90 @sandraberjan @rachelita2 @kelenelee
Sandra presented the latest design work to the team and Rachel, Wataru and Yas provided some recommendations. Kelene joined at the end of the meeting and worked with Sandra to coordinate meeting times for the following days.
This week, Sandra and Debbie met every day and Kelene participated in some of their sessions and provided consultation based on users' data.
Meeting highlights
Official HfLA operation will be closed for the month of December. That means no general onboarding and no stakeholder meetings. Monday 11/7 is the deadline to present work to Bonnie for her final approval before publishing the HfLA Figma Kit V1 to the CoP. This is the only way we can get something out of the door before the end of the year and save the DS project from getting dismantled.
Attendees @allthatyazz a new joiner Nirae.
This meeting happened on Halloween so the regular team members could not attend the meeting. PM met with the new joiner and explained the project and the different things we did for the full hour.
