Managing reviews, approvals, and collaboration
Reviews and approvals help teams understand whether a new component or variation is ready to move forward. Each step helps teams stay aligned and avoid surprises later:
- Share an initial concept. A simple sketch or prototype shows the use case and gives both teams a clear starting point.
- Review and adjust. Teams check whether the concept meets all needs. Missing parts are updated and reviewed again until the direction is solid.
- Build the component. The design system team creates the detailed design and code. They follow system guidelines to keep quality and consistency high.
- Test in real conditions. The component is tested for content, accessibility, browsers, devices, screen sizes, and edge cases. Internal design and code reviews help catch issues.
- Meet for final approval. Both teams review the finished work. If it no longer matches the original goals, it is refined again before signoff.
This path keeps communication open and ensures the final component fits real product needs.
Pro Tip: Keep each step small and focused so teams can fix issues early.
