End of design

Part of the definition of a design problem is the level of detail which requires attention. How then do we find the end of a design problem? Is it not possible to go on involved in more and more detail? Indeed this is so, there is no natural end to the process. There is no way getting beyond doubt when a problem has been solved. Designers simply stop designing either when they run out of time or when, in their judgement, it is not worth pursuing the matter further.

One of the skills is in knowing when to stop.
