Plan a component-level design system for a product
Product: [describe your digital product — app, SaaS, website]
Team: [how many designers, developers, how they currently work]
Current problem: [inconsistency, slow design, rebuilding components, etc.]
Design tool: [Figma / Sketch / other]
Create a design system brief:
1. Foundations to define first: colour tokens, typography scale, spacing system, elevation
2. Component priority list: which 10 components to build first
3. Component anatomy: for each, what states and variants are needed?
4. Naming convention: how to name components, variants, and tokens
5. Documentation standard: what must be documented for each component
6. Governance: who owns the system, how changes are approved
7. Adoption plan: how to get the team to actually use it
8. The biggest risk in building this design system and how to avoid it
