Improving The Design Documentation

1. Know your audience
Writing effective design documentation (like design itself) is really all about making sure you serve the needs of your audience.

2. Tell a story
A major goal of design documentation, especially in the early stages of a project, is to educate its readers about the value of the design itself (rather than the specifics of it), and convince them that the product is worth building and producing.

3. Describe the rationale and implications of the design
When you’re documenting a design, it can be tempting to just explain how the product works and show what it looks like. But for many in your audience, that’s not enough. They also want to know the “why?” behind the design. They may wonder why a particular feature was (or was not) included, or why a certain interface element looks or behaves the way it does.
