Connecting Jira to design tools
Visual design tools allow designers to create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes efficiently. By creating these detailed prototypes, you can identify usability issues and make necessary changes before any code is written. For example, if an organization wants to develop a mobile application, these design tools can be used to create a mockup of the UI. This mockup can then be attached to Jira issues that have been created to track this design work item.
