Drew Bridewell walks through how to conduct a design audit: capturing all ingredients of your product to understand its current state and prioritize what to build next, like a design system. Involving engineers, product, and marketing makes it work better.
Hey, everybody. Drew Bridewell here. And this week I have a new update for you on my weekly series on Lynda.com and LinkedIn learning. And again, my weekly series is called Practical UX Weekly. It's on Lynda.com and LinkedIn Learning. So this week's episode is about conducting a modern day design audit. So a design audit is basically capturing all the ingredients that make up your product or ecosystem. Could be methods, it could be any of that. But the primary purpose of doing an audit is so you know what's happening inside of that ecosystem. But it's also really important to help you strategize and prioritize where you need to focus. So when you're trying to decide, oh, we need to build a design system, this is a great place to start. And I have a structured process that I show in this video on how to execute that. And again, a little pro tip inside that it's not just for the designers. You get to bring in engineers and product marketing and other stakeholders to be able to help you do this process. And you're going to get to learn about that in this week's episode. So check it out and let me know if you have any questions. And other than that, I'll see you next week. All right, Bye, Sam.
