Establishing a successful design system practice is a significant undertaking. We often hear that teams feel overwhelmed by the multitude of considerations involved. In most cases, teams lack the confidence that they have all the necessary knowledge and turn to find a strategic partner to ensure successful implemetation, onboarding, and adoption of their future design system. In collaboration with design system expert Mark Reynolds, we are thrilled to introduce The Design System Process Cheatsheet. This checklist captures the main areas for consideration when setting up a successful design system practice and follows a proven and tested design system process.
We have witnessed remarkable achievements through the implementation of this program with global enterprise systems that have hundreds of complex products under multiple brands, navigate ongoing mergers and acquisitions, and support extensive workforces. The program has empowered enterprise teams to establish a clear vision, a sound strategy, a cohesive team, and an effective process, ultimately delivering world-class design systems. Even in organizations with multiple design systems already in operation, this program has fostered a unified and coherent approach, ultimately streamlining the consolidation of diverse brands and simplifying complexity.
If you have any questions or would like insights into our recent successful deployments of this approach, reach out to hello@knapsack.cloud and we’d be happy to help!
