Article Summary

How the CMS approached scoping their design system

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services central design team is responsible for overseeing a number of web platforms, managed by a combination of in-house and external designers.

Their initial priority was driving consistency across the various product groups, where very little standard processes existed before. Because of this nascent state, they were extremely realistic in scoping their design system MVP, focusing on:

  • Colors
  • Common Layer Styles
  • Text Styles
  • Icons
  • Buttons

To encourage collaboration and receive input from various stakeholders, the CMS utilized our MVP Worksheet and a Miro board (we recommend Freehand) as a planning tool.
