PROBLEM STATEMENT
Wells Fargo's design component systems are out of date, workflow from product to engineering lags, their design system and Confluence documentation was too large to keep optimized.
GOALS
- Analyze and understand current component set, discover gaps, evaluate UI frame work shortcomings.
- Remove deprecated component objects, recommend new components, document new parameters.
- Identify new library best practices, key system custodians and terms of use.
DESIGN RESEARCH
- Thoroughly inventory existing component library assets, processes, artifacts, key people.
- Drove consensus on component library optimizations, strategy, documentation.
- Schedule regular project review milestones with key stakeholders to measure goal progress.
DESIGN PROCESS
- Coordinated daily review meetings with design partners to establish goal milestones and project cadences.
- Converted gaps into project opportunities, regularly adjusting project scopes to align with new requirements.
- Schedule regular project review milestones with key stakeholders to measure goal progress.
SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES
- Collaborated with co-designers to optimize existing UX component library; streamlined design specifications reducing engineering costs by 20%.
- Discovered and implemented modular design specifications, aligning engineering capabilities with business goals, resulting in 15% increase in scale.
