Design System April 2021

Report Date
April 2021

Achievements in Last Period

  • Completion (and agreement) of documented roles and responsibilities for all parts/processes of the Design System
  • Improved cross-functional team working and productivity through "norming" agile working practices, meetings and events
  • Progress developing more backlog deliverables and further definition of the remaining backlog items

Issues

  • Due to the month long delay in starting the WPP implementation project (caused by the protracted contract negotiations) there’s been a knock-on delay to the Design System project. The WPP implementation was due to start on 12th April but is now due to start on the 11th May. There are numerous ties between the WPP and DS projects, in that they inform each other, with the DS shaping the form of some WPP elements and the WPP elements dictating some of the DS content. Essentially the delay has meant that sprint 4, due to complete on 30th April, is now due to complete on 14th May. Also, looking further ahead, I believe we’ll need an additional sprint to bridge the delay and ensure we deliver the MVP. 

Next Steps 

  • Continuing iterative development of the Design System in next sprint
