Project Design Document (PDD)

A Project Design Document (PDD) is a detailed plan that outlines how a project will be developed and implemented. It includes key information such as goals, technical specifications, the scope of work, timelines, resources needed, and potential risks. The purpose of a PDD is to ensure all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the project's approach and to guide efficient execution. It serves as a blueprint for developers, managers, and clients to stay aligned throughout the project's lifecycle, helping prevent misunderstandings and ensuring the project meets its intended objectives.
