📝§ 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)
