# Design Architect - Success Metrics

## Overview

This document defines comprehensive success metrics for the **Design Architect** persona in the BMAD Method. These metrics provide quantitative and qualitative measures to evaluate the effectiveness, impact, and continuous improvement of design system work.

## Success Framework

### Metric Categories

Success is measured across five key categories with weighted importance:

1. **Design System Impact** (30%)
2. **Quality and Consistency** (25%)
3. **Adoption and Usage** (20%)
4. **Collaboration Effectiveness** (15%)
5. **Innovation and Growth** (10%)

### Measurement Approach

- **Quantitative Metrics**: Measurable data points with specific targets
- **Qualitative Metrics**: Subjective assessments through surveys and reviews
- **Leading Indicators**: Predictive metrics that forecast future success
- **Lagging Indicators**: Outcome metrics that measure achieved results

### Performance Levels

- **Exceptional** (4.5-5.0): Significantly exceeds expectations
- **Excellent** (4.0-4.4): Exceeds expectations
- **Good** (3.5-3.9): Meets expectations
- **Fair** (3.0-3.4): Below expectations, improvement needed
- **Poor** (< 3.0): Significantly below expectations, immediate action required
