Session
Creating effective and objective architectural decision records (ADRs)
Documenting decisions is like eating your veggies as a kid: they keep telling you it’s good for you, but you just hate doing it. Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) to the rescue! ADRs are perfect for just-in-time, just-enough documentation for engineering teams and organizations.
During this session, you will learn how to make architectural decisions effectively and objectively by:
- Learning the structure of a good ADR (no more walls of text that nobody reads anyway!)
- Practicing how to turn subjective choices into objective ones (no more pros and cons lists and tribal conflicts!)
- Creating editable diagrams, fast (no more spending hours wrestling tools that your collaborators don’t know how to use!)
- Collaborating quickly with technical and non-technical stakeholders (no more hours of Tower of Babel meetings!)
- Reporting the decision using effective language and fit-for-audience diagrams (no more writing reports that end up unread in drawers!)
Do you want to learn how to facilitate good decision making without spending weeks looking for consent?
Then join this session and you will walk away a better software architecture decision facilitator.
