Workshops: templates, voting, timer, AI, journey mapping, distributed discovery.
Before starting, we run a 1-minute tech check — microphone, ambient noise, connection. If your setup isn't good enough, the test is fully refunded.
Show the world you can run a FigJam workshop from blank board to actionable outputs — dot voting, journey mapping, Jambot and async discovery — proven in a 15-minute AI oral exam.
The Plume FigJam badge certifies that you can facilitate real, structured workshops in FigJam — not just drop stickies, but design the board architecture, run a dot voting session with the native timer, build a multi-lane journey map with connectors and stencils, and recover when a session goes sideways. The 15-minute oral exam is conducted by an AI examiner (OpenAI Realtime) that asks you about actual facilitation situations: distributed discovery workshops, design sprints, prioritization sessions and the moments where FigJam hits its limits.
What makes this badge more credible than a LinkedIn skill endorsement: your oral transcript is reviewed by Claude Opus, which scores you across five weighted dimensions — workshop design, FigJam feature fluency, participant management, workflow integration (Figma, Notion, Miro) and critical judgment on tool choice. You get a 0–100 score, a level (Novice to Expert) and a detailed report with the specific answers that drove your result. The AI follows up on vague answers, pushes on edge cases and spots generic responses quickly.
This badge is built for UX designers, product designers, product managers and Agile coaches who run discovery workshops, design sprints or retrospectives regularly and need a verifiable proof of that skill for recruiters, clients or new teams. It also works well for freelance facilitators who want to stand out in competitive pitches without sharing confidential client references.
Here are the concrete dimensions the AI examines during the 15-minute oral.
Managing remote participant engagement on FigJam: warm-up icebreakers, named cursors, real-time reactions and activity zones to keep the board from descending into chaos.
Setting up and running dot voting, MoSCoW or impact/effort prioritization sessions using FigJam's native voting widgets, integrated timer and clearly scoped sections.
Building complete journey maps in FigJam using official templates, community stencils, connectors and stamps to make the map readable, collaborative and actionable for the whole team.
Creating reusable FigJam templates with locked zones, section grids and embedded instructions so that first-time participants can contribute without needing a onboarding session.
Using Jambot to generate templates on the fly, cluster and summarize sticky notes and produce post-workshop recaps — knowing when it saves time and when it dilutes the quality of the output.
Fitting FigJam into the broader product workflow: embedding Figma files, moving raw workshop insights into wireframes or specs, and making an informed call between FigJam, Miro and in-person sticky notes.
Spotting and fixing a cluttered board, passive participants or unusable outputs mid-session: reframing the format, targeted re-engagement, and a rapid synthesis to salvage the deliverable.
Articulating when FigJam is not the right choice — complex diagramming, offline teams, orgs without a Figma license — and recommending the right alternative with clear reasoning.
Final scoring is performed by Claude (Anthropic), which reads back the full transcript and applies this weighted criteria grid.
Ability to design a workshop with a clear arc — diverge, converge, synthesize — with well-scoped sections, a realistic timer setup and deliverables the team can actually use after the session.
Hands-on knowledge of native tools: dot voting, timer, stencils, connectors, stamps, reactions, locked sections, community widgets and the Jambot/AI features introduced in recent releases.
Skill at sustaining remote engagement, handling silences, re-activating passive participants and navigating divergence moments without biasing the group toward a predetermined outcome.
Ability to connect FigJam outputs to the wider product toolchain — Figma, Notion, Jira, Miro — so that workshop insights feed directly into the design or backlog phase without manual re-entry.
Ability to identify where FigJam genuinely shines and where another tool (Miro, Mural, in-person) would serve the team better, backed by concrete, nuanced arguments rather than brand loyalty.
A Plume session takes about 20 minutes, from tech check to badge delivery.
The AI confirms your microphone is working, the room is quiet and the audio connection is stable. No content questions at this stage — it is purely a setup check.
You introduce yourself briefly and describe the most recent or most complex FigJam workshop you have facilitated: the context, number of participants, objective and the format you chose.
The AI examiner runs through 4 to 6 targeted questions on your real practice: journey mapping, dot voting, Jambot, handling sessions that go wrong, workflow integration and FigJam's actual limits. It follows up, probes ambiguities and pushes back on generic answers.
The AI puts a concrete scenario to you — for example, a cluttered board with 20 passive participants and 5 minutes left on the clock — and observes how you prioritize and decide under pressure.
Claude Opus reads the transcript, assigns a 0–100 score across five criteria and generates your detailed report. Your badge and shareable URL are ready in under 10 minutes.
Your score out of 100 translates into a level a recruiter can grasp at a glance.
You use FigJam occasionally for simple retrospectives or brainstorming sessions: you can drop stickies, use basic shapes and colors, but you have not used sections, the timer or dot voting in a real team setting. Your workshops lack a clear structure and you rely on off-the-shelf templates without customizing them for your context.
You run regular FigJam workshops with a clear structure — sections, timer, dot voting — and you can manage a group of 6 to 12 remote participants. You customize community templates and know how to hand off outputs to Figma or Notion. More complex sessions like multi-stakeholder journey maps or full design sprints still stretch your facilitation skills.
You design your own reusable FigJam templates with locked zones and embedded instructions. You are fluent with dot voting, connectors, stencils and stamps for detailed journey maps, and you facilitate distributed discovery workshops with 15 or more participants. You recover sessions that go sideways and integrate Jambot into your practice with a critical eye.
You are the FigJam reference in your organization: you train other facilitators, set template standards and board governance, and make precise calls on when FigJam is right versus Miro, Mural or an in-person session. You use AI features like Jambot and sticky synthesis with clear judgment on their value, and you actively shape how your team's product discovery practice evolves.
No degree or years of experience required to take the badge. Here are the profiles it makes the most sense for.
You run discovery workshops, design sprints and design critiques on FigJam and want concrete proof for recruiters or clients that your facilitation skills go well beyond dragging stickies around.
You use FigJam for roadmap workshops, prioritization sessions and team retrospectives and need a verifiable signal that you can structure a productive, bias-free session from end to end.
You facilitate agile ceremonies and team workshops on FigJam and want to distinguish your practice from facilitators who use the tool superficially without a real structural approach.
You pitch FigJam-based workshop services to clients in the Figma ecosystem. A certified badge lets you stand out in competitive proposals without sharing confidential client references.
You have picked up FigJam skills through training or side projects and need a credible signal on your portfolio to land a first role in product facilitation or UX design.
Where and how your FigJam badge will help you day to day.
A recruiter asks for proof of facilitation skills. You share your FigJam badge URL with your score and the evaluation report, which details how you handled journey mapping questions and a live session-recovery scenario.
You are bidding on a 3-day design sprint facilitation contract. Your FigJam Expert badge in the proposal replaces client references you cannot share, and immediately signals your level to the decision-maker.
A design lead wants to assess which of their five designers should run quarterly discovery workshops. Plume FigJam badges for each team member give an objective picture of skill levels without relying on self-reported estimates.
A transformation consultant moving into a product designer role needs to prove their digital facilitation skills to skeptical hiring managers. The FigJam badge provides a verified, neutral signal on a tool that is central to the new role.
A design studio requires all new joiners to complete the FigJam badge within their first 30 days to confirm workshop autonomy and reduce the overhead on senior designers during client sessions.
A freelancer wants to justify a higher daily rate. They present their FigJam Advanced badge with the detailed report to their current client, who approves the increase without needing to run an internal skills test.
A few minutes to check you have everything you need.
