The new stake in design today is to examine the global purpose of the design activities. In this perspective, project design management not only consists in allocating resources, but also in stimulating collaboration among the actors involved in the project. Objective is to increase the performance of design teams. In this paper, we are interested in the factors influencing performance of the design system. We identify the elements of the design performance and propose a framework to manage design system evolution. A prototype of software formalising the exchanges in the design system during a design process is presented.
