Architectural Decision Records (ADR)

Architectural Decision Records (ADR) are documents that capture important decisions made during the design and development of a software system. They explain the reasoning behind choices, the options considered, and their outcomes. ADRs provide a clear timeline of how and why key design decisions were made, helping teams understand the project's evolution, ensuring consistency, and aiding future work. They serve as a shared reference point for stakeholders and developers, improving transparency and facilitating better decision-making throughout the project's lifecycle.
