It balances modularity, performance, accessibility, and maintainability across device form factors. The concept guides design decisions, technology choices, and team responsibilities to deliver consistent, scalable user experiences.
Measures the time until the application is fully interactive.
Size of delivered UI bundles in kilobytes.
Share of components reused across projects.
Component library implemented, cross-team reuse increased, UI inconsistencies reduced.
Code-splitting and lazy loading introduced, TTFB and time-to-interactive improved.
Standardized ARIA roles and keyboard navigation, implemented contrast and readability guidelines.
Take inventory of existing UI components and patterns.
Define architecture principles, contracts and governance.
Incrementally extract into a shared component library.
Integrate into CI/CD and introduce visual and e2e tests.
