The global pandemic has now affected how we work at scale. With many more businesses are forced to work out remote working, designers need to up their handoff game to make sure ideas are being communicated effectively and more concise, more now than ever.

In Product Design, handoff doesn’t stop at screens, assets, and fonts. Tools such as Zeplin, Invision, and Avocado has changed the way we work collaboratively with our teammates. Documentation such as UI/IX flows can play a huge role in how we communicate.

Meanwhile, these flows can take a lot of time and effort to create. Time is precious, especially in a fast-paced product environment. The time you may not have to make a perfect flow from scratch.

This is where Overflow comes in. Overflow helps you create flow diagrams in an instance. Many tools are trying to solve this very problem, most dominantly, Flowkit by the amazing MDS. Whimsical also offers the ability to create diagrams at a lower fidelity.
