# Software Design Documentation Project Name **Date:**: **Written By**: ## Introduction --------------------------------------- *What is the goal of the software? What is the problem statement?* If there are any specification documents, link them in Appendix. ## Solutions --------------------------------------- *Section should include alternative implementations/solutions* Is it feasible? How much effort does it need for each approach? Pros/cons of each approach. Document alternatives, why you made the decision and how it will affect the team and project. ## Design Considerations --------------------------------------- Describe the issues that need to be addressed before creating a design solution. ### Assumptions and Dependencies: Describe any assumptions that may be wrong or any dependencies on other things ### General Contraints: Describe any constraints that could have an impact on the design of the software. ## Design and Architecture --------------------------------------- ### System diagram or flowchart Interaction diagram of various inputs, outputs, sub systems and dependencies. ### Algorithm or Pseudo code for main components Describe your logic in this section ## Rollout Plan --------------------------------------- Define the roll-out phases and tests you plan to do ## Appendix --------------------------------------- References, links to additional documentation ## Review Sign-off --------------------------------------- * Reviewer(s): *Sign-off Completed on YYYY-MM-DD*
