Key takeaways

Registered, not read. As secondary descriptions report it: design rationale is a representation of the reasoning behind the design of an artifact. The article reviews why rationale has been expressed as design argumentation, and surveys design studies for when and how building explicit argumentation during design is productive. It then discusses the cognitive, organizational and technological factors that could ease the uptake of rationale systems. Its findings on cost are not known here.
