📝§ Decisions

Architecture as a set of important decisions—decisions are inherent part of software architecture

Tracking:

• Maintain a decision todo list—track decisions along with tasks

Deciding:

• Make decisions at the Last Responsible Moment

• Lightweight RFC-like process

Documenting:

• Be wary of wasting time documenting design decisions—not all decisions are worth documenting

• Documenting decisions

• Architecture Decision Record—a format for documenting decision

  • Present ADRs as simply “decisions”—this will encourage others to document their decisions as well (architectural or not)
