[EPIC] BYOD: Bring Your Own Design System

Open PaulaPaul opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Problem/Concern

  • This Epic is a component of defining the 2024 Roadmap - see #762 for additional details

Proposed Solution

Allowing people and organizations to adopt Theme Builder and integrate it with their existing design system is a common need. The solution will be a combination of:

  • Approach and assessment, including documentation and/or tooling for self assessment and documentation on the approach, potentially using 'Explain' features of Generative AI to assess or suggest
  • Identify and document the as-is, and to-be Design-Ops path to production, path to repair, and path to compliance, involving Design, Product, Engineering, Security, and Compliance for end to end accessibility
  • Identify patterns of Theme Builder stepwise adoption and integration, for example, incrementally 'strangling out' existing components or design system processes and tooling to enable Theme Builder, along with potential tooling
  • Determine the communications plan for enabling / launching this capability and building community awareness

Refinement of this epic into features will be tracked using the task list below - the Epic will be closed when all tasks are completed.

### Tasks
- [ ] Include elements of #544 design thinking and implementation that support BYOD
- [ ] Draft title for issue(s) to develop documentation for an initial assessment of an existing design system
- [ ] Add a draft title or issue reference here
- [ ] Add a general title / need that could become an issue
