Benefits

  • Removes mechanical production work so more of the timeline goes to problem-solving.
  • Enforces consistency through components, variables, and tokens rather than manual discipline.
  • Shortens the distance between an idea and something a stakeholder can react to.

Expected outcomes

  • Screens, flows, or a component library consistent enough to hand to engineering.
  • A clickable artefact stakeholders and users can respond to.
