Shipwright engineers are communicators first, starting with a solid mutual understanding of the base knowledge set on which we build the rest of a successful effort.

Frequently the stages, steps or design levels are not perceived the same by all parties particularly in global design efforts where particular descriptive terms of a design stage can have very different meaning in different global regions.
For purposes of beginning a dialog about any particular design effort, the following Shipwright design levels are described.
