What I Already Knew:
- Creating a sample app as a test case can help product teams see how their stuff would look in a new style
- Design system should be saving the teams time, not requiring extra effort
- Make time for fixing bugs in the design system, but also make time for exploring how to make team members’ lives easier
What I Didn’t Know:
- Build in accessibility and localization from the start so less work from product teams
- It’s okay to have more than one design system if your company has several distinct brands, however you must be aware of overlapping and arguments from those on the teams
- The best way to ensure commitment to the plan is to make it public, shows expectations for people at each stage of the process
What I Want to Know More About:
I would like to know more about making a design system that covers the needs for all team members, as well as effective marketing plans.
