Measuring impact and adoption

Measuring how teams use the design system helps guide future improvements. Usage data shows which components support real work and which areas need more attention. Metrics such as component usage, contribution frequency, and satisfaction scores reveal how well the system fits the needs of product teams. These insights help teams prioritize updates and prove the value of the system to stakeholders.

Impact metrics also highlight the efficiency gains a design system can deliver. Changes in development time, reduced rework, and improvements in product quality are all valuable signals. Tracking these trends helps teams understand whether the system is speeding up delivery and reducing duplicated effort. It also supports long term planning by showing where investments in the system bring the most benefit.
