Maturity: Understanding Where You Are Today, to Get Where You Want to Be Tomorrow
summary
Design operations frames a concrete path from low to high maturity using published data and repeatable artifacts: Envision finds 41% of companies at level 1 and only 5% at level 5, NN/g surveys 557 practitioners with 44% reporting poor understanding, and common activity rates sit at 18–30%. Practical moves include a dos and don'ts list for partner boundaries, a Figma consolidation report showing 300 designers moving 6,000 files, bench planning and sprint ownership, and a Thanks portal visualization that ties team recognition to measurable outcomes.
