There is a need for close cooperation between product managers and designers. If the tools used are not interoperable, they can only communicate and confirm by sending documents to each other, so the collaboration efficiency is naturally not high. MasterGo is an online collaboration tool that integrates design, prototyping and delivery capabilities. Product managers and designers only need to use MasterGo to collaborate efficiently in production and communication.

First, through MasterGo to improve production efficiency, visual expression of product requirements, product managers can directly build a component library through the designer, draw visual requirements documents on MasterGo, and quickly build a prototype diagram.

Second, through MasterGo to achieve efficient communication and synchronous revision of the design effect, requirements review or design draft review, product managers and designers are in the same document to exchange ideas, do not need to pass changes to the document back and forth, want to adjust the design copy, one button can be proofread and replaced, communication becomes direct and effective.

After learning about this new way of collaboration, we also need to know what preparations need to be done for product managers and designers to collaborate on MasterGo.

First of all, on MasterGo, product managers and designers need to have team space. Prototype drawings and design drawings can be stored here to facilitate everyone to understand the progress of the project; secondly, the design team needs to use MasterGo to build a set of component library shared by the product team and the design team to help product managers draw prototype drawings more quickly and easily.

Next, let's take a look at how collaboration can be initiated between product managers and designers in MasterGo.

Before starting collaboration, you need to click "New team" on the left side of the MasterGo workbench to create an online shared space. There are many ways to divide teams, for example, product managers and designers can share a team in which all prototypes and designs are stored, or product managers and designers each create a team. prototype drawings and designs are stored in their respective teams. How to choose, we can judge according to their own business situation.

Let's take the example of product managers and designers sharing a team. After creating the team, you can create three initial projects within the team: one is the prototype project of the product manager, which is used to store the prototype files drawn by the product manager in MasterGo; the other is the project component library, which is best built and edited by the designer, and the product manager only has the right to view the source files and the right to use the team components; and finally, the designer's design project is used to store the visual design documents produced by the designer.

Starting with requirements design, product managers can use MasterGo to "draw" requirements. Click the product manager project on the team, and click to create a new prototype file in this project. After opening the component Management pop-up window in the left component panel, and finding and opening the component library for this team project, we can see these components in the left sidebar. We can adjust the display of the left component panel by switching views so that we can quickly find the desired components in the component list, and then drag them into the canvas to use them to quickly build a prototype diagram.

In order to clearly express the requirements to the designer, you also need to add some information such as background and design details, and if there is an information annotation component in the component library for the product manager, you can drag it into the canvas and edit it. Of course, we can also create our own comments.

In addition to adding annotations, the product prototype diagram also needs to explain the logical relationship of this requirement or the interactive relationship of the page. In this case, you can use the connection line function of MasterGo: click the connection line tool in the drop-down box of the shape toolbar or use the shortcut key X, you can connect these drawings in the canvas, add text notes, adjust the color and thickness of the lines, change the path of the lines, and move the layer in the canvas. The connection line will also move with it, without manual adjustment, it is very convenient to operate!

After completing the requirement design in MasterGo, the product manager can share the link with the designer, and then the designer will visually design and create interactive effects. After the designer draws the design drawing, he will enter the review process. Product managers and designers can communicate directly based on the design draft, communicate efficiently and modify the design effect synchronously to avoid information transmission errors.

When the product manager has questions about some details of the design, he can use the comment function in the document, set tags where there is a problem, and enter text comments to provide real-time feedback. Or use the loop function, in the form of voice + recording, circle the problem in the canvas, and then record what we want to say. Based on the feedback of the product manager, the designer can explain directly under the comments of the product manager, this way of communication will be more intuitive and efficient. And the above modification suggestions will be retained in the design document for follow-up traceability.

In addition, the copy can be modified with one click through the proofreading function. For example, during the review, if the product manager thinks there is something wrong with the copywriting, he can directly use the proofreading function on the spot, click on the problematic copywriter, and then enter the correct copywriter in the proofreading pop-up window. When the designer adjusts the design draft later, he can just replace the copy with one click.

These are the ways for product managers and designers to collaborate effectively on MasterGo. If you have more skills for product managers and designers to collaborate effectively in MasterGo, you are welcome to communicate.
