Decision Records is a specialized tool for creating, managing, and tracking Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), helping teams document key architectural choices and their rationales in software development projects.

The app enables users to maintain a centralized repository of decision records, where each entry captures the context, decision, consequences, and status of important architectural decisions. This supports version control for updates to records, ensuring accurate historical tracking and easy retrieval through smart search functionality that understands context and keywords.

Key features include document linking to connect related decisions or project entities, audit trails for transparency in changes, and access permissions to control who can view or edit records. Teams benefit from collaboration tools like notifications for updates, customizable templates for consistent formatting, and integration capabilities for embedding into existing workflows.

By facilitating informed decision-making, Decision Records improves record-keeping accuracy, enhances team collaboration, and aids compliance with documentation standards. Its quick retrieval and reporting insights help developers reference past decisions efficiently, reducing errors and streamlining project planning.
