Presentation Title: Bridging DesignOps and DevOps

Outline: DesignOps & Design Systems without App Dev is a Non-starter Bridging the gap between designers and developers is a critical success factor in today’s push for digital differentiation. Since designers and developers rarely speak the same language, implementing DesignOps as a way to operationalize a design system can help bridge the divide. Believe it or not, DevOps is 10+ years old and shares some of the same aspects – collaboration between teams, support for a more agile way of developing, with a focus on adding real business value. But with DesignOps, we don’t have 10 years to achieve the same level of maturity as DevOps, or else we will not reach our UX/CX goals. Join this session for an in-depth look at DesignOps and Design Systems from a developer point of view. We’ll share research findings that we have collected, provide educational material about these key design principles and share a set of best practices to ensure your success.
