✦ Synopsis

A collection of proven software engineering and architecture design method elements to accelerate project work and reduce technical risk. Suited for API design and microservice architectures. Activity descriptions and artifact templates for non-functional requirements, domain models, architectural decision records, API contracts (sample content).

DPR (pronounced "deeper") collects artifact templates and practices from engineering methods (old and new) that are applicable to service-oriented analysis and design (and beyond)
