Thanks William, the problem is in Agile you know that we always buy stories  and work on them in sprints ...
designers always do early designs so that it can be usability tested before developers actually code it ....


in  iteration zero if designers work on the features that time developers might buy some stories (technical) and they are busy with it...

  1.. Put everybody in the same room.
  if developers are working on other stories how can they be part of design stories

  2.. When designers design, encourage them to frequently get feedback from the developers.
  developers are busy with other stories how can they contribute of the stories that designers might have bought
   
  3.. When developers develop, encourage them to frequently get feedback from the designers.

    Once we move on to SECOND Iteration and we will give Requirements / Screens / Spec of the First feature to the developers so that they can code it..   and this is where the problem comes
    Problem: If there is a technical problem/Limitation that arises for the designs that we already worked on ITERATION ZERO how do we handle it?


  My easy three-step solution:


    1.. Put everybody in the same room.
    2.. When designers design, encourage them to frequently get feedback from the developers.
    3.. When developers develop, encourage them to frequently get feedback from the designers.

  I've seen this approach work well for quite a number of successful teams. It turns out people are never too busy to talk with the guy sitting right next to them, especially when it makes both of their jobs easier.
