Designing a community-driven design systems roadmap
summary
A design systems roadmap gets co-created with the internal community using Google Sheets spreadsheets built with data validation, conditional formatting, example images and charts; 42 interviews produce a heat‑mapped matrix that surfaces 16 projects and vote percentages; analysis groups by role, flags dependencies and developer adoption cost, and sequences work to match team interest which secures budget for two agency hires and yields reusable templates shared for others to duplicate.
