Releasing a new version of a design system

Due to a lack of resources to commit to this project, I ended up being the defacto lead content creator, lead designer, lead developer, and project manager for this release. (Please, someone, get me more resources!)

As you can probably imagine, it was a slog.

In the last two years, I had gotten feedback on the Pega Design site through emails, forum conversations, and direct interactions. There was consistent feedback about it being difficult to find content without using the search bar.
To fix this issue, we redesigned the navigation to have content in more smaller pages. We did usability testing with a TreeJack test to see if people could find the information they needed. A few iterations — and we had a new navigation.

Since the original launch of the Pega Design site, Pegasystems has rebranded and redone its digital presence. The product design system is not the same as the consumer-facing design system (since there are drastically different use cases) — but the design system is a consumer facing site. Aligning the design system site with the rest of Pega’s digital properties was a key goal.

Dev tools are a girl’s best friend

I know exactly enough code to be a danger to myself and others. Which was a little challenging as the de facto lead developer on this project.
