Design System Contribution Models

Contribution models allow product teams to enhance design systems without compromising quality. This post reviews three popular models: Nordhealth's hybrid model, which balances centralized control with team input; Pluralsight's waste reduction model, which focuses on minimizing redundant efforts; and Canonical's code quality model, which includes a decision tree and emphasizes QA in pattern creation. Each model has a distinct process for introducing and reviewing changes to maintain or improve the system's integrity.
