Spot on haha.
The promo design doc is directly incentivized by managers: “if you just see a bunch of CLs, it doesn’t tell a story. You need to write it down as a coherent narrative and get some >L5s to comment on it”. “It’s not for me it’s for the committee - they aren’t familiar with your work so you need to explain it”.
> But again, they were no engineer, they were a director, I guess design docs make sense for their position
Yeah I think it’s just high potency ammunition in the middle management[1] turf wars. Not even product managers care much about DDs.
[1]: Liberal definition: anyone who uses the word “cross-functional” colloquially, independent of their actual job title.
