Project outcomes
Pilot A Process
Define and pilot a new process by which the design system team can create new components
New component
Create a new Alert component for the design system
Capture insights
Document a list of insights to improve this pilot process over the course of multiple iterations
Key steps
1 / Define scope
Understand and align with the design system director to establish the scope of this initiative.
2 / Draft process
Work with the program manager and a few other folks on the design system team to draft a proposal process for a pilot.
3 / Get sign-off
Get sign-off for the new process workflow from the design system director and product owner.
4 / Pilot the process
Pilot the new process workflow with a small subset of the design system team. Introduce, facilitate, and guide the team as necessary.
5 / Assess and share
Capture retrospective insights from the pilot team on what was learned. Share out the entire set of work with the broader team.
Additional context
This work was completed over a one month timespan with approximately 50% of my allocation.
