Expanding your Design System's sphere of influence and other lessons
summary
Design systems sell culture change through measurable moves: a checklist + Figma playground for onboarding, regular office hours, a satisfaction survey, and concise executive TLDRs that tie system work to product KPIs. Expect messy realities—3000 hex values in the codebase, migration without roadmap—and leverage a power framework (influence vs authority), a challenge network, and concrete metrics (velocity, adoption timelines) to win allies; 18 months of effort often yields steady, visible gains.
