Architecture Decision Records: A Tool for Experienced Engineers
Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) are lightweight documents that capture architectural decisions along with their context and consequences, fostering transparency and continuity within agile teams. This article explores the origins of ADRs, their practical implementation, and real-world examples, highlighting how they enhance decision acceptance by involving engineers directly impacted by the outcomes. By combining ADRs with the Advice Process, organizations can achieve decentralized, collaborative decision-making, effectively leveraging collective expertise while maintaining architectural integrity.
