About this event

Join us for a LIVE deep-dive session focused on one of the most critical but often overlooked layers of design system success—measuring impact and ROI.

Unlike our Inspect & Reflect series where we explore how design systems show up inside products, this Craft Across session zooms in on metrics and data as the foundation for demonstrating design system value. We'll explore how teams can combine product adoption, code usage, and Figma usage data to create a comprehensive picture of their design system's impact.

Beyond traditional metrics, we'll showcase practical approaches to quantifying design system ROI with specific data points that stakeholders can understand and act upon.
