Design System Adoption and Evolution Questions

Covers end to end experience with design systems including building, advocating for, governing, evolving, and measuring the impact of a shared design language and component library. Topics include creating the business case and roadmap for a system, governance and contribution models, cross functional collaboration with engineering and product, and strategies to drive adoption across teams such as evangelism, onboarding, documentation, training, and integration into workflows. Also includes technical and process concerns for evolving a system without breaking products, for example semantic versioning, deprecation strategies, migration plans, testing, tooling, and release cadence. Candidates should be prepared to discuss how they prioritized component work, handled requests for changes or new components, balanced consistency with flexibility, scaled the system as the organization grew, and measured success using metrics like component usage, design velocity, reduction in duplicate work, and product quality.
