How We Document Webinar #1: Design System Team Happiness

Did you take part in the survey? Or have you downloaded the How We Document report? Either way, we want to chat with you! In this first webinar, in a series all about the How We Document report, we are diving in to answer one of our more controversial (and sad ☹️) topics from the report… what makes a happy design systems team? Because, quite frankly, a lot of you need a hug. From team makeup to formal vs informal governance, to documentation coverage, we’ll try and cover as much as possible, with opportunities to answer your questions too!

Stars of the show:

Dan is the founder and director of SuperFriendly, a design collaborative that brings exquisite creative direction and design to the world’s most important and interesting organizations.
