Design System Governance

Cadence, contribution rules, and review rituals so shared components stay coherent as squads ship in parallel.

Who this is for

Organizations with a component library that has outgrown informal ownership — multiple product squads shipping variants, token drift, and no shared definition of “done” for accessibility or performance.

Result

A working governance model: contribution paths, review roles, deprecation rules, and performance budgets attached to foundational components.

Included

  • Current-state map of tokens, foundations, and product-level overrides
  • Contribution and RFC-style proposal flow tailored to your tooling
  • Review checklist covering a11y, theming, and weight budgets
  • Facilitation of the first two governance forums
  • Written playbook your design-ops or platform team can maintain

Excluded

Building a new library from zero, visual redesign of the brand, or staffing a full-time design-ops hire (we can advise on the role profile).

Next step

Describe your system maturity — library age, number of consuming products, and current owners.
