So you're taking the first steps towards creating and implementing a design system? Great! We're here to guide you through the process, helping you craft a well-defined plan and outlining the essential steps required to develop your design system roadmap. By following these steps, you're not only preparing your organisation for growth but also setting the stage for delivering high-quality results while optimising your budget.
Building and implementing a design system is not a project with a head and a tail. It's not a one-and-done effort. Instead, it's best approached as if you're crafting a dynamic product, one that will continually require maintenance and evolve to become an integral part of the organisation. To truly succeed, you need a dedicated team of individuals who are committed to the system's ongoing development and upkeep.
So let's look at the steps to follow:
Remember that implementing a design system is an ongoing process. It requires commitment and adaptability as your organisation and products grow and change. However, when done right, a well-implemented design system can lead to significant improvements in efficiency, consistency, and overall user experience across your digital products.
This might come across to you as a daunting project, especially when it comes to getting buy-in within your organisation. But rest assured, you're not alone in this journey. We're here to support you every step of the way.
In fact, we've successfully implemented design systems for a wide range of organisations, from large multinational corporations such as Signify, to nimble scale-ups with small, tight-knit teams, to the city of Amsterdam. So, you're in good hands, and together, we'll navigate this path to help you create and deploy with confidence. We also learned that once a design system is up and running, new difficulties arise. How to deal with ownership? How to design for maintenance? And how to keep your system supported at all times? Surely, after implementation there is even more to keep an eye on. Read all about that in our blog on making a design system work at scale.
Do you have questions or need some advice? We are happy to think along, just reach out to us!
