Using ADRs for Collaborative Decision Making in Architecture
The use of ADRs in organizations involves starting with a question to solve a specific problem, considering various options with pros and cons, and making a decision. A new ADR template is created to guide this process. The completed ADR is checked into a centralized Git repo for review by non-architects. This collaborative process helps teams understand the reasoning behind architectural decisions and learn decision-making skills. ADRs help establish a shared context for decision-making, allowing architects to adapt them to suit the company's needs and store cross-cutting concerns in a shared repository.
