Open Design Jobs

Design work nobody has taken — the claim board.

This is the design side’s equivalent of the Open Inspections board: jobs that exist but belong to nobody yet.

1The board

Go to Open Jobs.

The screen states its purpose plainly:

Design work nobody has taken yet. Claim one and it becomes yours.

An empty board explains itself too — “Design jobs are being assigned by a manager at the moment, so nothing is sitting here.”

Why it works this way

That second sentence matters more than it looks.

An empty claim board can mean two entirely different things: there is no work, or the work is being handed out by a manager instead. The screen says which, so a designer does not conclude there is nothing to do.

The board — Open Design Jobs

What happens next

Claiming a job puts it in your name and it appears on Design Jobs with you in the Designer column. From there, open its Workspace.
