Navigating the Maze of Communicating Architecture Decisions

Clarity in articulating design choices is the bedrock of successful software architecture. This session explores the transformative power of Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) as a tool to capture the nuanced “why” behind every architectural choice, from selecting a framework to defining a core pattern. Through compelling real-world examples, we break down the essentials of ADRs and demonstrate how to document context, rationale, and consequences effectively.

You will walk away with actionable guidelines for authoring, maintaining, and evolving ADRs throughout your project lifecycle, providing a blueprint for clear, confident communication. Whether you’re a seasoned architect refining complex decision processes or a developer venturing into architectural design, this talk will empower you to make your design rationale accessible and impactful.
