“What Happens Next? Everything That Comes After Setting Up Your Desi…”
summary
Design system at Salesforce launches in 2015 and scales by running three major releases a year, with standards reviews for two weeks before each release, office hours twice a week, and a core UX engineering team of six or seven supporting roughly 30,000 internal users. Key tools include a live component builder called Previewer and a designer-editable Guidelines repo on GitHub. Pain points: missing docs, brittle automated release notes, and testing for HTML/CSS-only components. Taxonomy additions (annotations, patterns, types, properties) fix architecture and governance.
