Design Systems are cool. They help to power up the team, establish smooth workflows and simplify design and development processes. Every digital agency wants to have a Design System today. But does it really worth it in every case and for every team?

Intro:

  • Why Style Guide is needed. Why it's not enough.
  • Why Component Library is needed. Why it's not enough.

 

Design System:

  • What is a Design System? Differences with Style Guide and Component Library.
  • When Design System is needed. What is an influence to the team and its workflow.

 

Design System or Not:

  • What are benefits of maintaining a Design System and what are overheads?
  • Does every team and every project need a Design System?
  • When Component Library/Style Guide is enough.
  • Do it all together and with Passion, or do not pretend!

 

In this session I want to share a real experience when creating a Design Systems for large enterprise, academic and digital organizations. Re-understand your workflow today and introduce your own, complete or partial Design System experience!
