Workshop: 2-3 days
Design system kickoff (interface inventory)
Workshop description
Create an interface inventory of your digital product, and align with your team on how to prioritize refactoring using a design systems methodology.
People, process, and tools
Establish which core features in the user journey should be prioritized, clarify ownership and team communication, agree on criteria and a toolset.
UI patterns
Go over different user interface pattern types: functional, perceptual, platform-specific, domain-specific, persuasive.
Hands-on work
Divide and categorize screenshots of core features of your web interface by functional categories (e.g. buttons, forms, navigation, typography, lists) and intended use.
Naming convention
Discuss naming as a shared language and mental model. We will go over naming conventions and practice naming interface components.
Share and learn
Share and discuss our findings and rationale, as well as which patterns we would keep, merge, and discard.
Next steps
We'll share crucial steps that help us succeed when transitioning an organization to a design system.
