A design document is a description of a software product that a software designer writes in order to give a software development team an overall guidance of the architecture of the software project. It usually accompanies an architecture diagram and has pointers to the detailed feature specifications of smaller pieces of the design. A design document is practically required to coordinate a large team under a single vision.

A design document needs to be stable reference, and outline all parts of the software and how they will work. The document should give a fairly complete description while maintaining a high-level view of the software.

For game design, the document will often be between 50-200 pages.

There are two kinds of design documents: HLDD - High Level Design Document and LLDD - Low Level Design Document
