The process involves thorough research, detailed blueprints, and team discussions to create components that are visually consistent, functionally strong, and easy to maintain. By investing time upfront in defining components, teams can enhance communication, accelerate development, and build reliable, scalable products. This approach also supports Test-Driven Development, ensuring components meet high standards from the outset."

+    harnessing the power of data to effectively manage a design system.
+    We show how data is collected through GitHub API,
+    reveal a real-world dashboard that serves as the core tool
+    for data analysis. We further explore how the design system is used, the extent
+    of adoption, and the insights gained from this data, enabling design teams to
+    proactively address user needs. We point how analyzing data on a daily
+    basis can become a routine that ultimately leads to the development of meaningful KPIs.
+    The talk underlines how design system teams can communicate value
+    to business stakeholders by assessing the resources saved through the design system’s use."
