Problem

Scenario

You're designing across a suite of complex enterprise applications, and multiple product teams are shipping features into different workflows and surfaces. A shared design system exists, but teams interpret patterns differently, create one-off variants, and sometimes bypass the system when delivery pressure is high.

Question

How do you ensure consistency across complex enterprise applications when utilizing a shared design system, especially when different teams, workflows, and delivery timelines are involved?
