The Evolution of Design Systems Maturity
Design systems often go through a journey of initial investment, implementation, and then questioning their purpose and future progression. This episode explores the experiences of Adriana Morales in managing design systems at IBM and HEB, highlighting the challenges faced once the system is in place. At IBM, after the initial high energy of system launch and adoption, Adriana's team faced a period of uncertainty about the next steps. This led to introspection, research with internal teams, and identifying missing components and patterns. Transitioning to HEB, where the design system was at an early stage, focused initially on building components and patterns, followed by a shift towards sustaining and aligning the system with long-term goals.
