Decision log

Record the evidence, alternatives, owner, and review trigger behind a decision.

Decision record

  • Decision ID and date
  • Decision owner and stakeholders
  • Problem to resolve
  • Evidence available and evidence missing
  • Alternatives considered
  • Chosen option and rationale
  • Tradeoffs and accepted risks
  • Implementation owner and next action
  • Review trigger and review date
  • Links to supporting evidence

Use a short record that another person can understand. A decision is not final merely because it was written down; record its accountable owner and review conditions.
