How product design works at PlanetScale

Our company has a lightweight and collaborative design process that doesn't follow rigid rules or have product managers. The company roadmap is determined by the leadership team working with engineering and product design to prioritize projects and explore possible solutions. Once a direction becomes clear, designers create high-fidelity mockups in Figma to share with team members, often building prototypes to identify friction points. Designers collaborate closely with engineers to move into code quickly, addressing structural and styling pieces while leaving the engineers with fill-in-the-blanks components. The company uses feature flags and checks to enable new features for specific people and teams before shipping to everyone, allowing employees to have high autonomy in their work and avoid traditional handoff processes.
