Design System Tactics

The “All Tactics” page on Redesigning Design Systems is a practical playbook of bite-sized tactics for every stage of a design system’s lifecycle.

It organizes dozens of actionable moves—such as crafting system principles, choosing governance models, running design-dev spec walkthroughs, conducting global component audits, creating guidance pages, or measuring component usage—into categories including Strategy & Setup, Design & Build, Documentation & Support, and Metrics & Adoption.

Each tactic includes when to use it, key steps, and expected outcomes, making it feel like a toolbox you can dip into, whether you’re starting a new system or scaling a mature one.
