Design System Metrics Collection 🌈💥

I created this list as an inspiration for what exists and works for my clients.

Before you choose your metrics, you need to ask yourself:

➡️What kind of impact do you want to achieve with your Design System?
➡️What’s your goal (quarterly, yearly)?
➡️What can save you money?
➡️What can bring you money?
➡️How can you improve efficiency?

➡️How can you improve the quality of your work?
➡️What would help designers/developers speed up their work?
➡️How can you ensure more consistency?
➡️What are your existing business drivers?
➡️How many resources can you put into building a design system?

💥 But which metrics are the most valuable?

You must choose metrics that reflect your objectives and the overall KPIs of your business. Combine quantitative and qualitative data.

Why quantitative data?

✅Insights into adoption rate.
✅Compare and track over time.
✅Using evidence rather than decisions based on “gut feeling.”
✅What’s working and what’s not.

Why qualitative data?

✅Numbers alone are not a sign of quality or success.
✅Some metrics lag heavily, so you need to get feedback from users (employees, stakeholders).

🏎 Don’t try to buy a Ferrari if you don’t have money for the gas. 🏎

Make a plan according to your resources, and remember that no single set of metrics works for everyone.

✅ Focus on incremental improvements.

✅ Get clarity on what is essential for your business.

✅ Involve the whole organization.
