[[fr:Revue de sprint 1 - 29 septembre]]
== Product: ==
Product vision, mission + high level objectives progress overview
* The product team worked to define a shared vision and mission for the design system:

<b>Vision</b>
*For public servants who need to meet evolving digital service delivery standards and the public's expectations, the GC Design System is a solid foundation that increases the quality and efficiency of their work, enables them to build services that are inclusive and provides a framework to ensure reliable task success.
<b>Mission</b>
* Driven by modern design, standards and technology best practices, the GC Design System is informed by data and focused on the needs of people. It helps teams deliver a cohesive, accessible and trusted Government of Canada experience.
* Next steps - the team is now working to define:
** what a GC Design system is
** problems we’re trying to solve
** objectives
** key results
 
User journey mapping
*We created user journey maps based on user interviews for 2 groups : fearless innovators vs loyal implementers
*Journeys included phases of  the journey, the situation the user finds themselves in or actions they’ve taken, the mood, feelings and needs, tools needed and community building 
*We will use these journeys to plan the ideal user journey for our design system

==Governance:==
Findings from the analytics and user feedback on design.canada.ca 
*<b>[[Media:Canada.ca design system - Analytics and feedback.pdf | Presentation: Canada.ca design system - analytics and feedback]] </b>
**Web analytics (January 1st - Sept 15)  and feedback tool (added in June 2021)
<b>Highlights: </b>
*Content Style Guide gets the most traffic
*Templates getting more views than components
*Little traffic to French pages (5-10% for most pages)
*Mobile use is low (10-15%) 
<b>Key takeaways:</b>
*Canada.ca design system is mostly used by people from web comms community
*Web comms community is still looking for guidance: templates, guidance on which component to use, clarification
*Hypothesis:
**This is not where developers are generally coming, so we need to understand their needs better if we want to address them

==Guidance: ==
* <b>[[Media:FINAL-7154075 1 Copy of GC Design System October 2021-EN.pdf|Presentation: GC Design system comparative analysis]] </b>
*Compared 23 design systems based on:
**Navigation
**Inclusion of content guidance
**Visual foundations guidance
**Component guidance
**Versioning and history of components
 
<b>Highlights: </b>
*All of them have navigation between elements within a section
**11/23 have both top and left navigation
*Takeaways:
**Navigation: Making the design system a separate product, with internal navigation, is the common practice 
**Content guidance: The “overarching”, non-component-specific guidance from the Canada.ca Content Style Guide should be in a separate section, within the design system
**Visual foundations guidance: The design system needs a separate “Foundations” section for core visual and brand elements
**Component guidance:  Component guidance should have some content guidance specific to that component. There are many ways to present guidance for developers and designers. Having 2 separate tabs is an option, but not the only option. 
**Component history and versioning: There is an opportunity to figure out the best way of conveying changes, versioning, how to upgrade
  
*Guidance for users revolves around four sections: 
**awareness of the digital policy framework 
**design system guidance
**navigating and using the design system
**selecting and applying the right tokens and components for the job 
 
*Tackling the design system guidance:
**We did an inventory of existing guidance for review and analysis
**We found that there is a lot to consume between WET, Canada.ca style guide, policies, etc. 

<b>Next steps:</b>
*Understand how design decisions are captured at a process level with the goal being to make the design system the trusted source of truth for design system decisions
*Align the product team regarding standards, values, speaking a common language
*Clarify the different meanings of guidance
