Overview

Incorporating Figma's interactive prototypes into presentations for stakeholders significantly boosts the clarity and impact of your design proposals. Stakeholders get to see the design almost as if it were the real thing, giving them a better grasp of user flows and interactions. You can whip up clickable mockups that mimic actual navigation and behavior, which makes sharing your vision a breeze. Plus, Figma's cloud-based platform is a game-changer. It enables smooth sharing and real-time collaboration, allowing stakeholders to review and give feedback without any hassle, enhancing the whole process. This method makes presenting designs smoother and promotes more informed decisions.

How to use Figma's interactive prototypes for stakeholder presentations?

Step 1: Create Your Design in Figma

  • Fire up Figma and either start a new design file or open one you've already got.
  • Get creative! Use frames, components, and all sorts of design elements to bring your project to life.

Step 2: Create Frames for Each Screen

  • Break down your design into separate frames, each one representing a different screen in your user flow.
  • Make sure each frame has a clear label so you know what's what.

Step 3: Link Elements for Interactivity

  • Head over to the "Prototype" tab in Figma.
  • Pick the elements in your frame (like buttons or links) that you want to make interactive.
  • Drag that blue handle to the frame or element you want to link to.
  • Set up the interaction details, like "On Click," "Navigate To," and any cool animation effects you want.

Step 4: Define the Starting Frame

  • Choose which frame will be the starting point for your prototype.
  • Click the "Set as Starting Frame" option (the flag icon) to mark it as the first screen.

Step 5: Preview Your Prototype

  • Hit the "Present" button in the top-right corner of Figma.
  • A new window will pop up where you can test out your interactive prototype.
  • Go through the prototype to make sure all the interactions are working smoothly.

Step 6: Share the Prototype Link

  • Click the "Share" button in the top-right corner.
  • Adjust the sharing permissions (like making it viewable to anyone with the link).
  • Generate and copy the link to share with your team or stakeholders.

Step 7: Prepare for Presentation Mode

  • Click the "Present" button again to go into full-screen presentation mode.
  • Make sure your internet connection is solid for a smooth presentation.

Step 8: Conduct the Presentation

  • Start with a quick overview of the project goals and key features before diving into the prototype.
  • Use the full-screen prototype to show off user flows and interactions.
  • Encourage your audience to ask questions and give feedback in real-time.

Step 9: Gather Feedback

  • Let stakeholders play around with the prototype using the shared link on their own devices.
  • Collect their feedback and jot down any suggested changes or questions.

Step 10: Iterate Based on Feedback

  • Make the necessary tweaks to your design based on the feedback you got.
  • Update the interactive prototype and get ready for any follow-up presentations.
