Appropriate Level of Technical Design Documentation

New Arrival

Created 9 years ago in Technology / Software Development

No one has time for exhaustive specs, but we all know they help you refine technical designs, and dot things better the first time. I have 20 years of experience in this area, and can help you know what level of design documentation is appropriate, how to approach this with your team, and how design documentation can fit in with an Agile development cycle. Just enough documentation is not no documentation.
