Learn to version design like developers

If you have ever worked in large and distributed software-related teams, then in the course of your career you will have thought about standardizing your work.

Not only to achieve branding goals, to maintain consistency and to develop a uniform look and feel, but above all to be able to work more efficiently, to share work results and knowledge and to develop a common language.

Development teams have been doing this for many years on the basis of version control systems such as SVN, Mercurial or Git.

This approach is also gaining more and more acceptance and support for design teams.

Abstract Versions offers an attractive opportunity to take your design workflow to the next level, which differs from real-time collaboration concepts such as Figma via the concepts of branching and committing and is more based on the Git approach.

In this 1 hour 48 minute Abstract Versions course I would like to use a real example to introduce you to the advantages of the Git-based workflow, with which design teams can be scaled up to the moon.

Learn how to

  • manage sketch files

  • track your work progress

  • use branches and commits

  • manage design reviews

  • standardize your design workflow

  • offer versions of your libraries, components and features

  • share prototypes, guidelines, specs and measurements seamlessly

Watch, if you want to

  • better understand the git based workflow

  • learn about how to use Abstract

  • scale your product design

  • be hip and speak about #designops with more confidence
