Designed System

A Designed System is a system that was created by a designed system creation task.

• Context:
  • It can range from being a User-Facing Designed System to being a System-Facing Designed System.
  • It can range from being an Functional Designed System to being a Malfunctioning Designed System.
  • It can range from being an Improvised System to being an Engineered System.
  • It can range from being a Mission Critical System to being a ..l.
  • ...
  • It can be associated with a System Design Model.
  • It can be designed by a System Design Task.
  • It can be analyzed by a System Analysis Task.
  • It can be described by a System Requirements Document.
  • It can be tested by a System Test (possible against system specifications).
  • …
• Example(s):
  • Engineered Systems, designed for specific use-cases, such as:
    • Computing Systems, such as a software-based system for processing data.
    • Slot Machines, designed for entertainment and regulated gambling.
    • HVAC Systems, designed for environmental control in buildings.
  • Improvised Systems, created in response to specific needs or resource constraints, such as:
    • Rainwater Harvesting Systems for collecting and utilizing rainwater in rural areas.
    • Mud Brick Ovens used in traditional cooking setups.
    • Fishing Traps designed by local communities for small-scale fishing.
  • Transport Systems, such as:
    • Railway Networks designed for mass transit.
    • Air Traffic Control Systems designed for managing airspace.
  • Manufacturing System, such as:
    • Automobile Production Lines designed for assembling cars.
    • 3D Printing Systems used for prototyping and product development.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • an Evolved System.
  • a Natural System.

  • Question: What is a Design System? Please explain its core components, types, and benefits. Include information about implementation considerations, best practices, and how they contribute to digital product development.
  • Answer: A design system is a comprehensive framework that serves as a single source of truth for creating digital products, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and scalability across an organization.
    • Core Components:
      • Foundation Elements:
        • Design components (buttons, icons, typography).
        • Design patterns (reusable solutions).
        • Documentation and guidelines.
        • Technical specifications.
        • Design tokens.
      • Key Characteristics:
        • Consistency in user experience.
        • Scalability across platforms.
        • Efficiency in development.
        • Maintainability of components.
    • Types of Design Systems:
      • Based on Implementation:
        • Product-based systems (like Material Design, Lightning).
        • Process-oriented systems.
        • Service-based systems.
      • Based on Scale:
        • Enterprise-level systems (IBM Carbon, Google Material).
        • Product-specific systems.
        • Team-level systems.
    • Benefits:
      • Organizational Impact:
        • Reduced design redundancy.
        • Faster development cycles.
        • Improved team collaboration.
        • Consistent brand experience.
      • Technical Advantages:
        • Reusable components.
        • Standardized development practices.
        • Efficient prototyping.
        • Easier maintenance.
    • Implementation Considerations:
      • Essential Elements:
        • Component libraries.
        • Style guides.
        • Design principles.
        • Documentation.
        • Coding standards.
      • Best Practices:
        • Maintain version control.
        • Establish clear governance.
        • Regular updates and maintenance.
        • Cross-functional team involvement.
