Background

Micromedex was the first Watson Health product page to be selected to migrate to a new enhanced Drupal based IBM Cloud templated design system.  This new design system consisted of copy, design, and UX guidelines for each page/tab type and for each type of content on the page. In addition, a new content document structured for the drupal templates was being instituted and the hybrid agile team process was being adjusted for this new process.

Process

In order to move to the new design system, multiple sets of copy, design, and UX documentation guidelines and templates had to be researched, studied and learned.

There were also many undocumented copy, design and technical exceptions/limitations that UX had to take into account. These could only be learned from reaching out to multiple groups such as production, the creators of the new design system, the sketch template designers, graphic designers, and the Digital Experience Lead.
