Another significant challenge is keeping up with technological advancements. For Yara, [we upgraded their React and React Native libraries to Storybook@7](https://bridge-the-gap.dev/case-studies/yara). With later projects, we also continued working with the newest Storybook versions, sometimes investing into upgrade. This refactoring may require changes in almost all stories and updating dependencies, but it ultimately improves the UI's customization capabilities based on user research insights. My colleague Irina recently ellaborated on that aspect when speking at Into Design Systems 2024, and [we published and extract of these insights on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7206208034535022593/).

I always emphasize the importance of understanding both the technical and design aspects. My background in frontend development has been invaluable, but I've also had to study design principles to create truly effective systems. Equally important are skills in facilitation and stakeholder management. At F-Secure, where I helped develop a design system strategy](/projects/f-secure-ds-strategy/), my focus was on creating alignment among different stakeholders, establishing a clear vision, and drawing a practical roadmap with clear milestones. This multidisciplinary approach is crucial in bridging the gap between designers and developers. In my experience, one of the biggest challenges in implementing design systems is achieving buy-in from all levels of an organization.

To share knowledge and foster community in the design systems field, I regularly speak at conferences, conduct workshops, and write blog articles. In my and Irina's recent talk "From Survival to Growth: Enhancing Design Systems via Seamless Collaboration", we explored ways to improve collaboration and communication within design systems teams. This presentation highlighted the importance of both horizontal collaboration between designers and developers, and vertical collaboration with stakeholders.
