Design systems since 2011

If you've worked on design systems long enough, you've accumulated a heap of collateral to build the case for design systems. It’s just part of the job. Like you, I’ve done this. Then I did it again. And again. And again… Which, in retrospect, was silly. So, after an embarrassingly long amount of time, it dawned on me to make a reusable “presentation” which calculates the value of design systems. Then I made it available for everyone, including you. https://lnkd.in/gc7FVQCx This tool won’t replace your own custom case for design systems, but it may give you a boost. And who doesn’t like a little boost now and then?

Incredible. 🤩 Could you please explain "A design system team of 5 supporting 200 consumers would need to improve efficiency by ~2% to break even" a bit more? Is this a team of 5 designers building and maintaining a design system for 200 internal consumers who use it to build/develop/test? How do you calculate the efficiency gain to plug in for the ROI section?

Just wow! PJ Onori So cool that you're sharing this 🙏. Would be super interesting to see also how you calculate these numbers for better transparency when presenting this to someone. I can imagine that this question could be raised 🤓.
