Join us *tomorrow* at SEP to learn about driving adoption in design systems. Jeff Putka and Josh Kriese will share what they've learned from successfully building, launching, maintaining, and managing Design Systems across multiple organizations and domain spaces. Cross-functional collaboration within a Design System team can be a significant source of friction, but it can also be something that empowers and strengthens the design culture of an organization. Throughout the discussion, we’ll take a dive into practical solutions for creating and maintaining a successful Design System at any scale including: * The Design/Engineering relationship * Designing for code as an experience * Maintaining a service mindset * Design System problem = everyone’s problem Let’s start thinking systematically!

Figuring out what to build involves considering competing and conflicting needs in constrained environments. What happens when there are not enough resources to implement every feature, not enough clarity in the vision, we don't know enough about the users, and everyone is too stuck to prioritize and make hard decisions? Effective discovery and design can break out of this rut. At our April event, Andy Chen will talk about the key questions that a process should answer. Using these questions will help you select frameworks and methods to un-muddle options, build support, and manage risks. Join us at 5:30pm on Monday, April 22, at Innovatemap.
