Design Systems

Participants will:
- Define roles for design system management.
- Create contribution processes.
- Define decision-making authority.
- Plan for system evolution and deprecation.
- Document governance.
Participants will leave with:
- A governance framework.
- A contribution process.
- A model for design system evolution.
- Reduced bottlenecks.
Governance should enable contribution, not block it. Make contribution easy. Start with minimal rules and add more as needed. Measure what's important. Watch out for over-engineering governance too early. Unclear decision rights cause delays. Don't ignore deprecation planning.
