FigJam component decision tree, design system process.

A practical decision tree that guides designers and design system teams through the process of deciding whether to create a new component. This framework helps teams maintain consistency and avoid unnecessary complexity in their component libraries by providing clear criteria for component creation.

Ideal for design system managers, UI/UX designers, and product teams who want to establish systematic guidelines for component architecture. The decision tree helps prevent component bloat while ensuring that genuinely needed components are identified and created with proper consideration for reusability, maintenance, and scalability.
