How to measure your #designsystem? Measurement is one of the essential levers for your design system growth and sustainability. Do not underestimate it; it's more valuable than you think 📐 zeroheight.com/blog/how-to-me…

Great convo yesterday about measuring design systems, one of my favorite topics! Check out the replay if you missed it

Thanks for bringing up Cedar in this convo @sophiavux - so interesting to consider how design systems and OOUX overlap!

Should be fun!

So you ordered three different sizes of those pants. What happens to the two that don’t fit? @amandamull unpacks the complicated, laborious, and sometimes gross logistics of free returns. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

A while back, @HiMaya wrote a FANTASTIC piece about the importance of consistent "connection points" in modern systems (uxdesign.cc/measuring-the-…) — as she points out, the value of LEGO isn't the number of pieces, but that every piece keeps working with the others.

@RyanRicketts @FedEx Yes, FedEx specifically has constantly been delayed/super slow lately. UPS and USPS have been fine, though I know you don't usually get to choose

@HonzaTmn @nathanacurtis @OrbitKiwi Great idea - going to try that on our upcoming survey!

@HiMaya @nathanacurtis We were using SUS surveys for @OrbitKiwi for some time, except that we added also open-ended questions to each of the questions if respondents didn't agree with the statement. The best part: being able to calculate trends over time for specifics areas (ease of use, docs, etc.)

For those measuring success of their design systems by "Satisfaction" of adopters/users of the system... How do you quantify it? How often do you do it? What tool(s) / method(s) do you use to gather it?

@lanyaolmsted we did do an audit of our current messages, and then have been trying to bucket them into categories of alerts, notifications, help, and inform to align with accessibility requirements for each type. then prioritizing and figuring out existing and new components for each..

@HiMaya for sure! it’s one of the most inconsistent things — in terms of pattern usage, visual design, and content. did you all start with an use case audit and holistic pattern mapping first (for all components)? or did you focus on one pattern at a time?

on the design system team, we’ve been working hard on our first “messaging” component — callout card. it’s one of our more complex organisms, so we’re spending a lot of time on it’s guidelines and the messaging framework that it exists within.

Lots of good PM books recs here! delibr.com/post/visual-gu…

@HonzaTmn From what I've seen, the PM is usually brought in after there's a design & development team to help with adoption, prioritization, and roadmaps - I would agree it's typically when systems are a bit more mature, though it can certainly help get funding to keep a team going

I guess it is also connected to the size and maturity of the company. A larger company, a larger chance of getting PM buy-in for teams living in the platform part of the organization. Or is it different in UK/US, where design systems maturity seems to be higher?

Great article from @HiMaya on product management for design systems. A long read, but sums the role really well. knapsack.cloud/blog/what-do-d…
