It is preferable to find a balance between detail and conciseness. Overly detailed documentation ("talmud") can hinder understanding and slow down work, especially in dynamic Embedded/IoT projects where quick prototyping and iterations are often required. On the other hand, minimal descriptions can lead to misunderstandings and errors.
The optimal approach is to clearly and precisely describe tasks with enough detail to eliminate ambiguities, but without unnecessary details unrelated to the core. For example, specify goals, interface requirements, resource constraints, expected results, and acceptance criteria.
This approach helps maintain flexibility and accelerates communication between developers and other project participants.
