A '''software design description''' (a.k.a. '''software design document''' or '''SDD'''; just '''design document'''; also [[Software Design Specification]]) is a representation of a software design that is to be used for recording design information, addressing various design concerns, and communicating that information to the design’s stakeholders. <ref>{{Cite book|title=IEEE Standard for Information Technology--Systems Design--Software Design Descriptions|journal=IEEE STD 1016-2009|date=July 2009|pages=1–35|url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5167255|doi=10.1109/ieeestd.2009.5167255|isbn=978-0-7381-5925-6}}</ref> An SDD usually accompanies an architecture diagram with pointers to detailed feature specifications of smaller pieces of the design. Practically, the description is required to coordinate a large team under a single vision, needs to be a stable reference, and outline all parts of the software and how they will work.
