FAQPage Schema
How do I document architecture decisions for a new software module?

To document architecture decisions effectively, use an Architecture Decision Record (ADR) to capture evaluated options, trade-offs, and team standards alignment. This structured approach ensures technical choices are recorded consistently across the development lifecycle.

What should be included in an operational readiness checklist for deployment?

An operational readiness checklist for deployment must define monitoring configurations, runbooks, rollback procedures, and handoff protocols. This ensures system stability and clear on-call responsibilities before shipping software.

How do I establish consistent code review criteria for my engineering team?

Establish consistent code review criteria by applying structured mentoring guidelines that promote quality and reduce cycle time. This approach aligns design pattern usage and architectural standards during the development phase.

When do I need to create an Architecture Decision Record?

You need to create an Architecture Decision Record during the Tech Spec phase when facing significant architectural choices. It captures design constraints and evaluates options to align the team before development begins.

Can I apply phase-specific technical guidance across Discovery, PRD, and QA?

Yes, you can apply phase-specific technical guidance across Discovery, PRD, Development, and QA. This provides targeted outputs like ADR templates and review criteria tailored to each stage of the software lifecycle.

What is the best way to mentor developers during technical design reviews?

The best way to mentor developers during technical design reviews is to use structured code review criteria and design pattern guidelines. This promotes quality, reduces cycle time, and aligns decisions with team standards.
