Figma is used by digital product teams to design, prototype, and document user interfaces for websites, mobile applications, and software products. It serves as a centralized "source of truth" where cross-functional teams collaborate in real-time to build wireframes, manage complex design systems, create interactive prototypes that mimic the feel of final products, and generate code snippets for developer handoff. It is the industry-standard environment for managing the end-to-end design lifecycle, ensuring that designers, product managers, and developers remain synchronized on project requirements, brand standards, and evolving user experience flows throughout the entire software development life cycle.
