Digital Solution Architecture Decision

Definition: An Architectural Decision Record (ADR) is a document that captures the key decisions made during the architectural design and development of a software system. It is used to record the rationale, alternatives considered, and trade-offs made during the decision-making process, as well as the context and implications of each decision.

dct:identifier: A unique increasing number and date that usually follows the ADR-nnnn pattern to help sort them from old to new (ADR-20230412180800). The format to use is ADR-[YYYYMMDDHHmmSS].

dct:title: The title contains a short phrase describing the architectural decisions.

dct:description: The description contains a full description of the architectural decisions.

adr:context: The context explains why we need to make a decision. It also describes the alternatives along with the pros and cons.

adr:decision: The decision describes the justification for why the particular solution was accepted. It has more emphasis on the why rather than the how.

adr:status: [Proposed (under review)|Accepted (approved and ready for implementation)|Superseded (superseded by another decision)]

adr:consecuences: The consequences section contains information about the overall impact of an architectural decision. Every decision has trade-offs. That’s why it’s crucial to include the analysis to provide a clear picture.
