Wart Burggraaf explores how teams can effectively manage contributions to a design system while maintaining structure and consistency. He introduces the concept of a component matrix, a structured way to track and organize system components. This approach helps teams ensure that contributions align with defined standards, making progress monitoring easier, identifying potential bottlenecks, and maintaining a clear governance process.
Wart Burggraaf highlights the role of compliance in keeping design systems functional and scalable. A component matrix brings transparency by giving stakeholders a clear view of what’s being developed and how contributions fit within the broader system. Burggraaf explains how this method supports team collaboration while ensuring that every component meets the necessary guidelines before integration.
