We will use Architecture Decision Records, as [described by Michael Nygard](http://thinkrelevance.com/blog/2011/11/15/documenting-architecture-decisions). | ||
|
||
## Consequences | ||

# Use Markdown Architectural Decision Records | ||
|
||
Adapted from | ||
[MADR's similar decision record](https://github.com/adr/madr/blob/2.1.2/docs/adr/0000-use-markdown-architectural-decision-records.md). | ||
|
||
* Status: accepted | ||
* Date: 2023-10-16 | ||
|
||
## Context and Problem Statement | ||
|
||
We want to record architectural decisions made in this project. | ||
Which format and structure should these records follow? | ||
|
||
## Considered Options | ||
|
||
* [MADR](https://adr.github.io/madr/) 3.0.0 - The Markdown Architectural Decision Records | ||
* [Michael Nygard's template](http://thinkrelevance.com/blog/2011/11/15/documenting-architecture-decisions) - The first incarnation of the term "ADR" | ||
* [Sustainable Architectural Decisions](https://www.infoq.com/articles/sustainable-architectural-design-decisions) - The Y-Statements | ||
* Other templates listed at <https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/architecture_decision_record> | ||
* Formless - No conventions for file format and structure | ||
|
||
## Decision Outcome | ||
|
||
Chosen option: "MADR 3.0.0", because | ||
|
||
* Implicit assumptions should be made explicit. | ||
Design documentation is important to enable people understanding the decisions later on. | ||
See also [A rational design process: How and why to fake it](https://doi.org/10.1109/TSE.1986.6312940). | ||
* The MADR format is lean and fits our development style. | ||
* The MADR structure is comprehensible and facilitates usage & maintenance. | ||
* Version 3.0.0 is the latest one available when starting to document ADRs. | ||
|
||
### Positive Consequences | ||
|
||
The ADR are more structured. See especially: | ||
* [MADR-0002 - Do not use numbers in headings](https://github.com/adr/madr/blob/2.1.2/docs/adr/0002-do-not-use-numbers-in-headings.md). | ||
* [MADR-0005 - Use (unique number and) dashes in filenames](https://github.com/adr/madr/blob/2.1.2/docs/adr/0005-use-dashes-in-filenames.md). | ||
* [MADR-0010 - Support categories (in form of subfolders with local ids)](https://github.com/adr/madr/blob/2.1.2/docs/adr/0010-support-categories.md). | ||
* See [full set of MADR ADRs](https://github.com/adr/madr/blob/2.1.2/docs/adr). | ||
|
||
### Negative Consequences | ||
|
||
* Learning curve will be slightly longer. |

# These are optional elements. Feel free to remove any of them. | ||
status: "{proposed | rejected | accepted | deprecated | … | superseded by [ADR-0005](0005-example.md)}" | ||
date: {YYYY-MM-DD when the decision was last updated} | ||
deciders: {list everyone involved in the decision} | ||
consulted: {list everyone whose opinions are sought (typically subject-matter experts); and with whom there is a two-way communication} | ||
informed: {list everyone who is kept up-to-date on progress; and with whom there is a one-way communication} | ||
--- | ||
# {short title of solved problem and solution} | ||
|
||
## Context and Problem Statement | ||
|
||
{Describe the context and problem statement, e.g., in free form using two to three sentences or in the form of an illustrative story. | ||
You may want to articulate the problem in form of a question and add links to collaboration boards or issue management systems.} | ||
|
||
<!-- This is an optional element. Feel free to remove. --> | ||
## Decision Drivers | ||
|
||
* {decision driver 1, e.g., a force, facing concern, …} | ||
* {decision driver 2, e.g., a force, facing concern, …} | ||
* … <!-- numbers of drivers can vary --> | ||
|
||
## Considered Options | ||
|
||
* {title of option 1} | ||
* {title of option 2} | ||
* {title of option 3} | ||
* … <!-- numbers of options can vary --> | ||
|
||
## Decision Outcome | ||
|
||
Chosen option: "{title of option 1}", because | ||
{justification. e.g., only option, which meets k.o. criterion decision driver | which resolves force {force} | … | comes out best (see below)}. | ||
|
||
<!-- This is an optional element. Feel free to remove. --> | ||
### Consequences | ||
|
||
* Good, because {positive consequence, e.g., improvement of one or more desired qualities, …} | ||
* Bad, because {negative consequence, e.g., compromising one or more desired qualities, …} | ||
* … <!-- numbers of consequences can vary --> | ||
|
||
<!-- This is an optional element. Feel free to remove. --> | ||
### Confirmation | ||
|
||
{Describe how the implementation of/compliance with the ADR is confirmed. E.g., by a review or an ArchUnit test. | ||
Although we classify this element as optional, it is included in most ADRs.} | ||
|
||
<!-- This is an optional element. Feel free to remove. --> | ||
## Pros and Cons of the Options | ||
|
||
### {title of option 1} | ||
|
||
<!-- This is an optional element. Feel free to remove. --> | ||
{example | description | pointer to more information | …} | ||
|
||
* Good, because {argument a} | ||
* Good, because {argument b} | ||
<!-- use "neutral" if the given argument weights neither for good nor bad --> | ||
* Neutral, because {argument c} | ||
* Bad, because {argument d} | ||
* … <!-- numbers of pros and cons can vary --> | ||
|
||
### {title of other option} | ||
|
||
{example | description | pointer to more information | …} | ||
|
