+
+# Neat Enhancement Idea
+
+This is the title of the enhancement. Keep it simple and descriptive. A good title can help
+communicate what the enhancement is and should be considered as part of any review.
+
+
+## Open Questions [optional]
+
+This is where to call out areas of the design that require closure before deciding to implement the
+design.
+
+
+## Summary
+
+The `Summary` is required for producing accurate user-focused documentation
+such as release notes or a development roadmap. It should be possible to collect this information
+before implementation begins in order to avoid requiring implementors to split their attention
+between writing release notes and implementing the feature itself. Before you get started with this document,
+please feel free to have a conversation on this with the maintainers/community on Github that would help
+drive a more organized thought process for the formal proposal here.
+
+## Motivation
+
+This section is for explicitly listing the motivation, goals and non-goals of this proposal.
+Describe why the change is important and the benefits to users.
+
+### Goals
+
+List the specific goals of the proposal and their measurable results. How will we know that this has succeeded?
+
+### Non-Goals
+
+What is out of scope for this proposal? Listing non-goals helps to focus discussion and make
+progress.
+
+## Proposal
+
+This is where we get down to details of what the proposal is about.
+
+### Use cases
+
+Add a list of detailed use cases this enhancement intends to take care of.
+
+## Use case 1: 
+As a user, I would like to understand the drift. (This is an example)
+
+## Use case 2: 
+As a user, I would like to take an action on the deviation/drift. (This is an example)
+
+### Implementation Details/Notes/Constraints [optional]
+
+What are the caveats to the implementation? What are some important details that didn't come across
+above. Go in to as much detail as necessary here. This might be a good place to talk about core
+concepts and how they relate.
+
+You may have a work-in-progress Pull Request to demonstrate the functioning of the enhancement you are proposing.
+
+### Detailed examples
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+* How does this proposal impact the security aspects of Argo CD workloads ?
+* Are there any unresolved follow-ups that need to be done to make the enhancement more robust ?  
+
+### Risks and Mitigations
+
+What are the risks of this proposal and how do we mitigate. Think broadly. 
+
+For example, consider
+both security and how this will impact the larger Kubernetes ecosystem.
+
+Consider including folks that also work outside your immediate sub-project.
+
+
+### Upgrade / Downgrade Strategy
+
+If applicable, how will the component be upgraded and downgraded? Make sure this is in the test
+plan.
+
+Consider the following in developing an upgrade/downgrade strategy for this enhancement:
+
+- What changes (in invocations, configurations, API use, etc.) is an existing cluster required to
+  make on upgrade in order to keep previous behavior?
+- What changes (in invocations, configurations, API use, etc.) is an existing cluster required to
+  make on upgrade in order to make use of the enhancement?
+
+## Drawbacks
+
+The idea is to find the best form of an argument why this enhancement should _not_ be implemented.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+Similar to the `Drawbacks` section the `Alternatives` section is used to highlight and record other
+possible approaches to delivering the value proposed by an enhancement.
