Im working at a big multi-product company and we're having 5 dedicated product teams, however, teams are working in silos. Each team's has its own process, design system, technology etc. We identified that most of the teams use and need components that were already conceptualised, designed and developed, for our other products, and we are starting to create a global set of components, a global design system that we will use on all our products. What is your approach?

Continuing the post...
Our approach so far, on the design side, is as follows:

1. We want to (and already started to) create a new project in Figma for this global design system (DS)
2. This project will have a separate file for each component, published as libraries. Doing this will allow teams to work and conceptualise individual components, but also link only the needed component libraries to your product's DS
3. Each product will create a design system in which they link only the needed libraries from the global DS, and publish it as a library
4. Here, they will add the instances, style them as per project's theme and create new components out of it.
5. On the files teams will only link to their product's DS

Doing this will allow us to work on the global components without affecting any Uls. There will be a higher team that will discuss new components at the global level and any updates on the existing components, based on each project's requirements.

I’ve tried using paper/thin markers highlighters, tried using procreate, and also illustrator/photoshop & a tablet. I keep running into issues where I feel overwhelmed. How do I simplify this?

I thought that was my job as the ux designer to figure out the best way to solve a need. But I’m getting handed projects where the PO, and sometimes the senior designer has laid out exactly what should happen (components used, flow, etc) to design a feature. It’s really frustrating because I don’t know if I’m supposed to be speaking up on what I think or just do the UI work I’m asked to.
