How Material Design Can Be Adopted and Measured for Product Success
summary
Material is an open‑source design system of components, patterns, and tools (Gallery included) that promises reusable UI, baked‑in accessibility and motion, and cross‑platform theming. Adoption is measured across four value dimensions — process, product, team health, job satisfaction — using five lifecycle stages: preconditions, tools, context, execution, reflection. Practical moves are to run a strategy audit, a tool audit, a user audit and a process audit, instrument baselines with logs/commits/issues and surveys, track psychological safety/dependability/meaning/impact, and iterate on gaps found.
