Everything You Need to
Govern the Design Phase

Six integrated capabilities that turn unstructured design workshops into a defensible, auditable governance process.

🚂

Design Room

Structured design sessions with a train stop workflow. Each session follows a defined sequence: context setting, requirements walkthrough, fit-gap analysis, key design decisions, and formal sign-off.

🔭

Watchtower

Program intelligence and risk signals across every workstream. Real-time health scores, RAID heatmaps, and workstream readiness assessment in a single view.

📜

Design Escrow

A legally defensible Design Escrow document. Every decision, assumption, risk, and sign-off compiled into a timestamped evidence package for your End of Design Phase Gate.

🛡️

RAID & KDD Registers

Human-attributed audit trail for Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies, and Key Design Decisions. Every entry dated, owned, and traceable to its session.

🗺️

Plan on a Page

Visual timeline across all workstreams. See design progress, session scheduling, and milestone dependencies in one view that stakeholders can actually read.

🔐

Role-Based Access

Five roles with granular permissions: Program Director, Design Authority, Workstream Lead, Contributor, and Observer. Each sees exactly what they should.

// How It Works

Three Steps to
Design Phase Confidence

Set Up Your Project

Define your process tree (L1 through L5), assign workstreams, invite your team. Map your organization before the SI clock starts.

Run Design Sessions

Each session follows a structured train stop workflow: Agenda, Requirements, Fit-Gap, KDD capture, RAID logging, and formal sign-off. Every output attributed and timestamped.

Generate Your Evidence Report

At your End of Design Phase Gate, DDI compiles every decision, register entry, and sign-off into a Design Escrow — your defensible design escrow.
