Design Iterations

Recording changes and the decisions behind them.

35 min 0/2 skill checksDesignAnalysisENP09.01 Concept Generation

Builds on: Sketches & Annotations

Learning targets

  • Record each revision with what changed and why.
  • Link a design decision to evidence (a test, a source, a requirement).

Every revision has a reason

Problems encountered during experimentation, and the ideas to fix them, should be clearly evident. Write what changed between revisions and the evidence that drove the change.

Continue, don't overwrite

When a design spans pages, use “continued from page” so the thread is easy to follow.

Second-year extension:
  • Decompose a problem into sub-functions and compare concepts (ENP09.01).
Follow-up notebook task
Revision log

Document your latest design change: previous version, what changed, why (with evidence), and the test you'll run next.
