How do designers log design decisions? How does a designer picking up a project from another designer find out why something is the way it is? 🤔
Thread
I've struggled with it for years Sid. I don't think current project management tools do a good job on documenting design decisions. I was even exploring a tool that would improve that, where stakeholders would work on a story with clear ways of documenting design rationale...
Are project management tools the place we should be documenting that? It does make sense tying them closely but should they live in the same place? 🤔
It is what makes sense to me. Product/Design rationale should live somewhere, for discussion and documentation. I don't think design tools should be the place for high-level decisions. We use Notion for that at Circle, not the ideal but it works 🙂
