Wouldn’t it be interesting if Leadership Decision Records (LDRs) were a thing?

(The equivalent of ADRs for software architecture)

@nick_tune I can imagine that would run into problems due to the fact that a lot of those decisions will be partly based on information that is (partly) confidential.

So if you want to have a documented decision about let's say a reorg where leadership decided on Option B that can be disseminated to a wide audience (eg. the whole department) it's not going to include various gut feeling-y reasons like "I trust Person F more than Person H to manage our relationship with Vendor R" and such.

@numerodix @nick_tune now I’m imagining LDRs, but with redactions
@numerodix @nick_tune I’d argue that if they’re making gut-feelingy decisions, their decision-making is flawed to begin with. If they can distill those “gut feelings” into data points, assumptions and risks, maybe it becomes a lot easier to share too.
