\n\t\t\tWelcome to design systems 101, a five-step guide that anyone can use to begin to understand and implement design systems.\u00a0

Let’s start with the basics. \t<\/h2>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\t\tThe first lesson in any design system 101 class is to think about who needs to be involved to bring the concept to life. The people who use the design system will be the foundation of its success.\u00a0

As it may be a completely new way of working for your business, it\u2019s imperative to have all key stakeholders involved from the get-go. This will ensure everyone moves forward in the same direction and enable them to collaborate optimally in both the short and long term as the design system is implemented and evolves.

Despite the name, we can assure you that it takes more than a team of designers to develop a successful design system. Design systems bridge the gap between visual designers, UX\/ UI specialists, and front-end developers, so each of these teams will need to be involved\u2026but that\u2019s not it.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
