A structured document that weaves together background, requirements, test plans, technical docs, wireframes and data into a sharp spec.

The Notion Engineering Dashboard is an easy-to-use workspace for you to track your tasks, stories, epics, sprints, and meetings. With this Notion setup you can cut out clutter and focus on your highest priority tasks, without losing track of important details.

This template allows all stakeholders in a development project to track the design, development, current status, and delivery of a software project. It can easily be connected to databases for development tickets, meeting notes, and other items related to the project.

Use this template to organize documents like technical specs, architecture overviews, and project kickoff notes.

Healthy team communication is all about transparency and making as much information available asynchronously as possible.

Use this database to immediately understand who created documents, when, what type they are, and how to use them.

It helps to create an work flow in IT departments

This template helps create a threat model for your feature using the methodology demonstrated in this Threat Modeling Handbook (https://medium.com/@mohamed.osama.aboelkheir/list/threat-modeling-handbook-309a70ec273f). It is recommended to go through the handbook before using this template. however, below is a summary of how it works.

This document helps go through Threat modeling in the 6 below steps:

1. Understand the scope and the design.
2. Decompose the components
3. Identify high-level Risks.
4. Identify Threats and Mitigations.
5. Verify mitigations.
6. Create Tests to continuously verify mitigations.

Steps 1-4 should be performed during the “Design” phase of your project (Phase 1).

Step 5 should be performed during the “Testing” phase of your project (Phase 2).

Step 6 should be continuously running in the “Operate” phase of your project (Phase 3).

An Architectural Decision Record (ADR) is a document that captures a significant architectural decision along with its context and consequences. The rule of thumb for ADRs is that once the decision is challenging to make or difficult to reverse/change, it should be documented in an architectural decision record.

ADR serves as a historical marker, providing insight into the 'why' behind decisions and aiding future team members and stakeholders in understanding the evolution of the project's architecture.
