Prioritise components to work on for 2022
Closed this issue · 3 comments
What
One of our 2022 key results for Elements is to design, deliver and document 16 common Nature / global components.
This could include:
- reviewing, refactoring and documenting at least some existing components according to user needs we've uncovered in recent user research
- creating new components
We need to prioritise which components to focus on.
Why
To make sure we are directing our efforts to the most-commonly needed components to maximise our impact.
Done when
- We know how we'll prioritise
- We have a v1 prioritised list of components, in order of need / impact
- We've evaluated the effort required to deliver top 20-25 components
- We have a finalised list of components
- List is shared with #design-systems community on Slack
Anything else
We should consider what constitutes a component for the purposes of this work. For example, "forms" is one component, which groups together multiple form inputs. Since each input needs to be documented, we may treat them individually as components for this deliverable.
Met with @sturobson and @foxintherain yesterday to talk about how we'll prioritise components. (Notes here)
We agreed to start with the prioritised list of components generated collaboratively with 10 design and dev representatives from a workshop in late 2021.
We're working a set of readiness criteria for components which we can use to evaluate the amount of work involved in components and prioritise them: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d2oGYgxySZHTsCSp4IY-h80hgSoPVfnQp997RSmHWIk/edit#
I've updated the prioritised list of components with a proposed top 16 - indicated with green highlight and marked priority one.
Will review with Elements team and ask 2 outstanding questions (on popups / modals / dialog) and once we're happy, will communicate with FED and UXD communities.
