Earlier this week, I shared an article on documenting design decisions. If you and your organisation use Confluence to manage all of the things, you might want to take a look at its very own design decision template.
Use our design decision template to organize your ideas and explain your design solution. Once you’ve brainstormed creative options, use the template to exchange feedback with your design team.
That last bit is worth thinking about, actually.
It doesn't have to be Confluence, but a tool that other people can easily see and contribute to is really important. The alternative? A document that festers deep in some long-neglected folder structure, never to be used by anyone but you.
We've all been there. Come one. Gets your docs out. Make them easy to find.
