 Poor artifacts result in poor design transferability, which invariably reduces the desirability of the product.  Thus making appropriate, high-quality artifacts in a timely manner is essential to the design process. Poor artifacts result in poor design transferability, which invariably reduces the desirability of the product.  Thus making appropriate, high-quality artifacts in a timely manner is essential to the design process.

-One strategy for creating artifacts is to wait for the end of a stage of development, then prepare the artifacts that are necessary for obtaining stage approval.  This has the advantage that the reason for each artifact is clear. It has disadvantages including (a) the fact that significant time will have passed since key decisions were made, so artifact details may be somewhat fuzzy; (b) some artifacts may be forgotten, since not all useful artifacts are required for stage approval; (c) it reinforces the idea that artifact creation is separated from design work; and (d) there is a tendency to just reach the minimum bar necessary for approval.+One strategy for creating artifacts is to wait for the end of a stage of development, then prepare the artifacts that are necessary for obtaining stage approval.  This has the advantage that the reason for each artifact is clear.
