Architecture Decision Records

What is an Architectural Decision Record (ADR)?

An Architectural Decision Record (ADR) is a document that describes a choice that our team makes about any significant aspect of the software architecture that we are planning to build. Each ADR describes the architectural decision which includes both the context, the decision, the status and the consequences.

The Web Communications Technology (WebTech) team uses architectural decision records to streamline technical decision-making for any meaningful software development project or decision that is made.
