Background

Managing research requests for the design system during roadmap planning in ING’s Wholesale Banking division was challenging due to inefficiencies in coordinating multiple meetings, leading to misaligned priorities and objectives among different teams. Moreover, there was a need to properly understand and define the real problems requiring solutions.

In such a large organization, ensuring UX consistency across various applications is crucial, especially when integrating a component-based design system. However, managing research requests from different stakeholders can become chaotic without a structured process. The key challenges faced were:

• Misaligned Priorities and Objectives: Different teams had varying priorities, leading to conflicting objectives and a lack of unified direction.

• Inefficient Communication: Coordinating research requests through multiple meetings was time-consuming and often resulted in miscommunication.

• Undefined Problems: Stakeholders often presented solutions rather than identifying the core problems, leading to features that might not address real user needs.
