Metrics for Design System Health
Identify key performance indicators (KPIs) and analytical approaches to assess the adoption, quality, and impact of your design system.
Why Measure Your Design System?
Welcome! A design system is a living product. Like any product, its health and effectiveness need to be measured. But how?
In this lesson, we'll explore key metrics to understand your design system's adoption, quality, and overall impact. This helps you prove its value and plan for its future.
Three Pillars of Metrics
To effectively assess your design system, we can group metrics into three main categories:
- Adoption Metrics: How widely is the system being used?
- Quality Metrics: How good are the components and guidelines?
- Impact Metrics: What business value is the system delivering?
Let's dive into each category.
