Problem

  • Design is using different variants of the same component across multiple projects - causing implementation errors.

  • Unmanaged components are also resulting in consistency errors within flows.

  • Despite the significant time design had invested in creating component specs, they are rarely referenced by Design or Eng.

Solution

  • Implement a process that ensures components are up to date & uniform across projects.

  • Introduce a system that ensures legacy and duplicate components are better managed for team long term.

  • Encourage more engagement and reference to component specs.

KPIs

  • Qualitative: Well received by the design team

  • Quantitative: Solutions are Integrated into Spatial.Sys

Constraints

  • The design team does not have the budget for design system-to-code base services like Zeplin

Impact

  • "Component owners" has been integrated into Spatial.sys and is now common practice.

  • Component owners has led to improved accountability for legacy component management.

INSIGHTS

  • Accountability drives progress. Clear ownership leads to effective action.

  • Avoid excessive specs in early design systems. Rapid evolution can render detailed documentation obsolete, wasting resources.

  • Simplicity fosters consistency. More options often introduce design discrepancies.
