Through aligning approaches by design, implementation by development, and strategy by product, design systems create a consistent experience across products that is easy to implement. By having a predictable experience across products, users experience less churn and are able to focus on the problems they seek to solve.

The pillars of a lasting design system
The most effective design systems consider both a consistent customer experience and making it easy for developers to implement. The goal is to build a product that serves the interests of the entire product portfolio.
Governance
Too many design system efforts leave governance for last. By establishing a strong governance plan upfront, it ensures those that who will be supporting the design system long-term have a hand in establishing the standards and practices that will support it.
Adoption
The best design system adoption begins as the design system is built. Involve representatives from across the product organization in the development process and being intentional about the time it takes to onboard to a design system.
Development & maintenance
Design systems are a product. They are a shared service across development teams. Treat the effort with the same metrics, and measurement brought to great products and the design system creates the best customer experiences.
