Agile SDD
Agile Software Design Documents provide a lightweight framework for documenting technical architecture while maintaining development speed. These living documents ensure that team members remain aligned on system requirements without the overhead of traditional, static documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Agile SDD?
An Agile SDD is a dynamic document that outlines the technical architecture and design decisions for a software project. Unlike traditional design documents, it focuses on clarity and evolution, allowing teams to update specifications as the project requirements change.
How does an Agile SDD improve team collaboration?
It serves as a central source of truth that helps developers and stakeholders understand the system structure. By sharing these design updates in WeekBlast, teams can ensure everyone is aware of architectural changes in real time to avoid technical debt.
What is a best practice for maintaining an Agile SDD?
Keep the documentation concise by focusing on high-level diagrams and critical decision logs rather than exhaustive detail. Regularly review the document during sprint planning to ensure it accurately reflects the current state of the codebase.
