FAQPage Schema

What is an architecture decision record and why do I need one?▼

An architecture decision record (ADR) captures a significant technical decision's problem, context, alternatives, and consequences to ensure long-term maintainability, traceability, and governance across your project.

How do I document a major software architecture choice?▼

To document software architecture choices, provide a short ADR title to trigger the workflow, which then coordinates inputs, checks required sections, and outputs a consistent draft recording status and dependencies.

How does an ADR link to existing architecture documentation for traceability?▼

For traceability, the ADR process associates your new decision record with related Game Design Documents (GDDs) and existing ADRs, maintaining governance across the engineering workflow.

What sections are required when creating an architecture decision record?▼

Creating an architecture decision record requires sections for the problem, context, considered alternatives, and consequences, while the coordinating workflow checks for these required fields before outputting a ready-to-write draft.

Can I track decision dependencies and status within engineering workflows?▼

Yes, the ADR output enforces a consistent format and explicitly records metadata including the decision's current status and dependencies, integrating directly into your engineering workflow for governance.
