2026 Q3
Overview
Q3 stayed on the AI-native course set in Q2. We delivered all 78 planned items, even though summer vacation and the AI Accelerator cut our effective capacity to roughly half.
AI priorities delivered
- Agent-ready docs: Table documentation optimised so AI agents produce reliable, on-system output, plus AI skills for MDS documentation
- Authoring Kit and content quality: a content quality rubric and scoring framework, and the Authoring Kit to review and improve documentation against it
- Chat component: response actions, file upload, and inline and drawer variants, plus input limits with a character counter
- Copy: a new experimental Copy component, with the Copy button ready for production
- Design tooling: the capabilities of Claude Design were reassessed to inform our design-to-code strategy
Platform and product progress
- Rem support: all four component batches (form, overlay and layout, data and display, complex components) now support rem units, opt-in and experimental
- Layout: footer capability, and top bar updates including an announcement and system messaging area
Quality and reliability
- 30+ bugs fixed, concentrated on Typeahead and Table, mobile scrolling behaviour, and Next.js and Nuxt hydration errors
- Accessibility: keyboard navigation aligned across popover and list components
- Table performance improved for very large data sets
- Website security and upkeep: MSAL 5, Astro 7, component demos moved to mds.maersk.io, and basic unit and visual regression tests for mds-docs
Carried forward
The AI colour role did not close in Q3 and continues as an epic in Q4, alongside the next phase of AI documentation, knowledge architecture and Chat work.
