Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) A Lightweight Governance Model for Modern Software Teams
Every software team, at some point, faces the same fundamental question: How do we make and document important architectural decisions without slowing down?
Enter Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) — a lightweight, practical governance model that helps teams capture the “why” behind their technical choices.
In today’s agile and DevOps-driven world, speed and autonomy are essential. Yet, without governance, projects risk drifting into chaos — with decisions lost in Slack threads, emails, or the memories of senior engineers. ADRs strike the perfect balance between freedom and control: they’re simple enough to fit into fast-paced workflows, but structured enough to maintain clarity and accountability.
