What role do metrics play in successful design operations? During the DesignOps Summit 2021, Emily Day and Kristin Sundermeyer shared how their team implemented effective metrics for budget management, resource planning, and productivity tracking in their educational publishing projects. They emphasized the importance of having a clear view of project spending, which allows design leaders to make informed decisions. A quote from the session perfectly captures this: “Saying on budget is every project’s goal. And when it comes to design, it can be the hardest.” This talk from 2021 is still relevant today as organizations look to streamline operations and improve project outcomes.

#edTech product design prioritizes roadmap features. That makes it hard to invest in design infrastructure—even if you want to. Here's why design systems are key to future growth—and how to convince your organization to buy in 💰 With a design system in place for your learning tools, you’ll have: -Shorter design and development timelines ⏳ -Stronger collaborations with other stakeholders, like your learning content team 🤝 -Faster alignment on strategy, since the design team can bring stakeholders working prototypes more quickly 📲 In order to increase buy-in for your internal stakeholders and get design infrastructure in the budget, try emphasizing time and cost savings by department. 👩‍🎨 In the design department: Designers become more consistent in how they solve user experience challenges, use more consistent patterns to support user needs, and design with brand cohesiveness in mind. You can also onboard new designers very quickly to your entire brand or to individual products. 👩‍🏫 In content: When content teams have access to repeatable components, the iteration process for content becomes more flexible—and it becomes easier to build prototypes for proof-of-concept. 👩‍💻 In front-end development: Because design components are coded the same way, their performance is consistent, saving your development team on time and labor. What benefits have you seen from investing in a design system for your learning tools? And what luck have you had making a case for including design system in your product budgets?
