Managing Design Systems with
summary
Practical workflow for running a design system: organize work as columns of tasks and rows of features, define a directly responsible individual, and use boards in Asana and Jira to show releases, roadmaps and intake. Deliverables move through plan → design → spec → code (code often lands before Figma and docs). Automate specs, publish synchronized Figma and code assets, and rehearse a monthly release using a 54-task release checklist coordinated across 8–10 designers and 15–20 developers.
