System architecture diagrams that speed up reviews
Bring speed and quality to your projects
Problems
Inefficient reviews can increase development effort by 40%
Even though "you should understand from the system diagram", meetings and supplementary documents are often required. Review opportunities—such as with clients, auditors, and teammates—are more frequent than expected.
*Developers spend up to 40% of their time aligning understanding with team members. (Forrester / McKinsey reports on developer time allocation)
*If documentation or design materials are insufficient, review and onboarding time can double. (Capers Jones - The Economics of Software Quality)
*Many rework and incident causes stem from deficiencies in requirements definition and design. In some cases 20–40% of total effort is spent on redesign and reimplementation. (IPA — Software Development Data Report)
※ "IaC support": All use-case definitions are recorded using our proprietary requirement definition code (CDS) together with provisioning code (CloudFormation, Terraform, etc.). This integrates system diagrams with provisioning code, eliminates unused resources, and improves reusability of design assets. See our docs.
