Every designer is different, and so are their design decisions. If teams can create new elements and components at will, each iteration will look different across teams and departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A design system ensures that every team member uses the same elements and components to maintain consistent aesthetics and functionality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This consistency streamlines usability testing and creates a better overall user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Design systems also increase efficiency. Instead of building elements and components from scratch, designers can pull what they need from the organization&#8217;s design system and start building interfaces immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Design teams can minimize errors and increase productivity with consistency and efficiency, ultimately translating to a higher ROI and profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, how do you gather accurate design system metrics to measure this success?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-measure-a-design-system-s-success\">How to Measure a Design System&#8217;s Success?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/design-system-abstract.png\" alt=\"design system abstract\" class=\"wp-image-37775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/design-system-abstract.png 750w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/design-system-abstract-700x280.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two reasons why you need to measure a design system:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adopting a new design system &#8211;

Define<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four elements you must define before you can measure a design system&#8217;s value:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Context:<\/strong> what drives the need for a design system, and what value will it bring to the organization?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Objectives:<\/strong> what are the design system&#8217;s objectives, how does this align with the organization&#8217;s mission, and how will you make the design system accessible to all teams?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>KPIs:<\/strong> define how you will measure the success of the design system <em>(read the <\/em><strong><em>Creating Measurable KPIs<\/em><\/strong><em> section above for ideas).<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stakeholders:<\/strong> understand the goals of your stakeholders so you know what metrics matter most to them.

Feedback from various departments can complement the quantitative data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>To quantify the efficiency and value, you need to compare a baseline (your current design method) vs. the impact of a design system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some metrics you want to collect and compare for your quantitative data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Average time to design a single component<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average hourly design cost<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number of designers using the design system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hours per month spent designing new components per designer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design hours per month<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monthly cost<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Present both the estimated monthly and yearly costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-communicate\">Step 3. Communicate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Communicating your findings and the design system&#8217;s value is critical to get buy-in for resources and organization-wide implementation. You must prove that the design system produces business value\u2014how does it save time and money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"249\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/XnIuslIkrKuwSUPLN7JO7bc91iXvSKolMPUsarzzZAJyVo94_2tzrPFr9nlR_OHM7KrQz-eeQWzW89U71hyYMeMRcEpB0DOob_XQsOZpPpp3q_3jWNxEkn3cC1RlBFP6sHeTXr6w\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to present your feedback so that every department head can see how the design system will benefit their teams. For example, the CFO might be more interested in saving time and money, while the CTO wants to know the design system&#8217;s impact on speed to market and reducing lines of code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure you have a system to track the design system&#8217;s performance for periodic updates to management and stakeholders\u2014usually bi-annually or quarterly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also provide details about your design system&#8217;s roadmap, how you plan to maximize value over time, and the resources you&#8217;ll need to implement new tools and procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more about <em>Proving the value of a Design System<\/em> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.somoglobal.com\/blog\/proving-the-value-of-a-design-system-to-management-key-takeaways\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this blog post from Somo<\/a>.

With your design system in place, you need to look for ways to maximize its value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-adopt-tools-to-maximize-value\">1. Adopt Tools to Maximize Value<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One challenge many organizations experience is how to manage a single source of truth for designers, developers, and product designers? How do you minimize manual processes keep tools and design systems synced?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PayPal solved this single source of truth challenge by switching from a traditional design approach to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/merge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UXPin Merge<\/a> and syncing their Microsoft Fluent Design System with a Github repo\u2014the catalyst for PayPal&#8217;s DesignOps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UXPin Merge lets you sync code components with our design editor, so designers, product teams, and developers all work with exactly the same components. Designers and product teams use these components to build interfaces as they would with any other design system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By switching to UXPin Merge, PayPal&#8217;s product teams were able to build new products and interfaces with minimal input from designers, and at a fraction of the time, it took using a traditional design tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, PayPal&#8217;s product designers build 90% of new products with designers providing advice and mentoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding tools like UXPin Merge to optimize your design system will provide efficacy while increasing adoption across the organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-effective-governance\">2.

Without good governance, a design system can quickly fall apart, causing more problems than it initially solved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the size of your organization, it&#8217;s a good idea to create a design system team to establish and maintain your design system standards, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How to introduce new elements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promoting patterns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reviewing and adapting patterns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Releasing design system updates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With these standards in place, you can ensure your design system maintains its integrity, consistency and continually provides value to the product and organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-creating-and-managing-design-systems-with-uxpin\">Creating and Managing Design Systems With UXPin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UXPin gives you complete control over your organization&#8217;s from a dedicated design system dashboard separate from the design editor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/dEEg7uB77oQwh9F_SqYNz2bMdQa5W4mVePNS3Ap7eTa_3gz9ISxttjpRY8cAx1IfPNRwGnnCCvCPAKpKVXT_VseAHjtkkDa5xr7dCFvs1WdjDVKqiyeg58uYBkIjnC8UKrXIHeRq\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here your design system team can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/design-systems\/design-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">create, manage and update the design system<\/a>.
