Technical decisions and engineering effectiveness

Make scope, ownership, adoption, and cross-team decisions explicit.

Make decisions another engineer can use

Several teams interpret the same amount field in different units. One person is required for every deploy. A migration has no owner for retiring the old path. These problems require decisions and adoption work beyond another local code change.

Write a decision record with options and consequences, find the actual delivery bottleneck, and define a strategy through observable rules. Your output should let another team act without needing you to repeat the explanation.
