1) Create a Workspace
From your dashboard, create a workspace for your team or initiative.
Use a name that reflects ownership and scope (for example: Platform Architecture or Payments Team).
2) Add a Project
Inside the workspace, create a project that represents a product/system boundary.
Good project names are usually business-facing and stable over time.
3) Open a Branch
Create a branch for a focused design goal, such as:
- introducing a new bounded context
- evolving an API contract
- redesigning a workflow
4) Model Across Views
Start broad in Brainstorm or Architecture, then refine behavior in Flow and execution in Planning.
5) Capture Decisions
Document assumptions, trade-offs, and accepted decisions in Wiki pages so context is preserved for reviewers and future contributors.
