Best for introducing an approved design system to a defined product scope through adoption and migration checkpoints. [Use the Design system rollout template free](https://app.ganttfather.com/projects/new?template=design-system-rollout&entry=template-library) Put Audit interface inventory, Build core components, and Migrate target surfaces on one agreed path. ## Design system rollout: make the handoff from Audit interface inventory to Migrate target surfaces visible. The Design system rollout template turns a finite product-design outcome into a visible path through Baseline, Foundation, and Adoption. It gives a multidisciplinary team a shared sequence rather than a collection of disconnected workshops or tickets. The schedule connects Audit interface inventory, Build core components, and Migrate target surfaces. Milestones such as Rollout scope approved, Pilot adoption verified, and Design system rollout complete make the evidence or approval required for the next handoff easy to find. After creating the project, replace relative days with real dates, assign accountable owners, and add internal details only where they belong. The public starter deliberately excludes Design tool credentials and Production code access. Included schedule ## 11 rows, 5 links, already sequenced.

How to use this template ## Design system rollout: make the handoff from Audit interface inventory to Migrate target surfaces visible. - 1 ### Baseline Start with Audit interface inventory and Set adoption scope so the opening handoff is explicit. - 2 ### Foundation Use Build core components and Document usage patterns to turn progress into a concrete approval. - 3 ### Adoption Finish with Migrate target surfaces and record Design system rollout complete for the next accountable team. Not included ## Planning aid This public planning aid contains no confidential research, contract, or production material. Add Design tool credentials and Production code access only inside your secured project. - Design tool credentials - Production code access Template FAQ ## Good to know What does the Design system rollout template include? + It sequences Baseline, Foundation, and Adoption around named work such as Audit interface inventory, Build core components, and Migrate target surfaces. Who should use this Design system rollout plan? + It supports teams that need a finite delivery boundary and an explicit decision after Migrate target surfaces. How should I adapt the schedule? + Set dates and owners after creation, then add protected details such as Design tool credentials and Production code access.
