The majority of the cards from our first design sprint were completed. The DCD team got together and categorized elements into different sprints, for a total of 8 sprints to complete Phase I. We created a project timeline (see below) to determine dates and expectations for Phase I, with the last sprint completing on May 2, 2018. At this point all the elements (incl. design files, documentation and code) will be available on Github. This UI Kit and documentation will be useful for prototyping new products and features.
