FigJam Reviews & Insights

I use FigJam when starting a new project to gather all the information, data, and research we have so far in one place. This serves as the starting point. Next, we bring the team together for early ideation, secondary research, and user journey mapping. The goal is to create a shared space where everyone on the team can quickly get an overview of the project.

FigJam is perfect for the early stages of a project, where every member from cross-functional teams can participate, because it’s intuitive and has a very low entry barrier.

Full-time designer in a product team. Work with a PM and Eng. Manager to figure what's the right thing to build and how we plan to build it right, etc. You know the drill. FigJam is a go-to, daily white board that use primarily for my own notes, sketches and visual thinking. But I also use it several times a week for collaborative purposes, usually for exercises that only last a few minutes. It's been a steady tool for quick, cheap whiteboarding largely becuase we already use Figma, but also because this is simple, low-barrier to entry. You don't want people frustrated with the tools before they even start thinking about contributing feedback to design, etc.

If you're working in small product teams, like triads, and already using Figma, this is a no brainer for white boarding, quick/fast sketches, wireframing, collaborative doodling ... it gets less appropriate with large teams, infrequent. IMO, due to the way in which they price, it's better to keep the inner circle small-ish.

When ideating and developing UI in games, we needed a tool that would allow us to share ideas quickly without sending photoshop files around. FigJam did that for us.

It is good for mostly previewing and brainstorming, sure.

Being part f an all remote team, we are often looking for collaboration tools such as Fig Jam. recently we began trying Figma for design and prototyping. Figjam we though would work better with Figma so we began to use it. We have used it for ideation, team collaboration and different presentations.

Figjam is well suited for Collaboration within teams as well as with stakeholders. We have used Figjam to ideate and create a team structure and guidelines. It works especially well for a remote team that needs a real time live collaboration tool. There are some limits at the moment on what they support. For example there is a similar collaboration tool that allow one to use google docs and be able to edit right from the collaboration tool. Features like these help keep it ahead of curve. I am sure Figjam is working on adding support.
