What problem does it solve?

DEP provides a formal, structured approach to proposing technical changes, ensuring decisions are traceable, justifiable, and aligned with stakeholders across engineering, product, security, and operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Mandatory sections and a standardized template to capture problem statements, proposed solutions, alternatives, risks, and implementation plans.
• Templates support versioning, authorship, reviewers, status, and dates for governance and auditability.
• Use Case: When proposing a major architectural change or policy update, a DEP documents the rationale, trade-offs, metrics, and rollout plan to obtain informed consent from stakeholders.

Quick Start

Draft a DEP using the provided template, starting with a clear problem statement and a proposed solution, then fill in risks, alternatives, and an implementation plan.
