In an agile and scrum world, our development happens one ticket, one block at a time, to build this entire beautiful product. And with that comes its share of bugs, but also design flaws that maybe weren't there before the last release. The bugs get fixed, of course, but what happens to those teeny-tiny design changes? Eventually, they build up and become more obvious, especially to a designer's eye.
These "pieces of flair," a name borrowed from the infamous Office Space reference, are a list of very small design tweaks that help make the product's UI look more put together, or "have flair." I would compile a list of at least 15 design items and present them in a development ticket (or multiple tickets, if needed) to be fixed. These tickets turn out to be great for developers who might be on a shorter schedule that week, heading into the holidays, or just looking for one last ticket to squeeze in before a new sprint starts. We were able to get through two rounds of flairs for the product, with a third almost finished totaling 38 pieces of flair completed.
