Resources
Take a useful structure into your next discussion.
Four templates with a blank you can use and an illustrative completed example. Choose the record that matches the work you need to do.
Explain the design
Agent design canvas
Connect the purpose, evidence, tools and boundaries of a system that acts. Use it when framing a build or preparing to explain an existing design.
Run the review
Design review agenda
A suggested sixty-minute discussion that moves from the system and its actions to unresolved questions, decisions and owners.
Preserve the reasoning
Architecture decision record
Record the context, alternatives, decision and consequences so the next engineer can understand why the boundary sits where it does.
Ask for employer support
Employer funding summary
Explain the programme you want to join, its commitment, how the learning relates to your work and how you will discuss its value with your manager.
Use the example to understand the blank
The examples show how a record is used. Replace the example's situation with your own evidence and context. A completed template supports a review; the team still needs to make and own the decision.
