  Introduction  

Part 1 of this guide described the territory covered by the Design Atlas audit tool and outlined how Design Atlas can be used to review design capability within an organisation.

Part 2 of the guide provides a detailed description of the questions that make up the Design Atlas framework. For each question a paragraph of background information is provided. A short description of evidence that could be accessed to help establish capability is also given. The levels of capability are then described in detail. At the end of this part of the guide a results sheet is provided onto which the score for all the Design Atlas questions can be recorded.
