Context

For simpler decisions that don’t require the full ADR template, use this short form.

This template is appropriate for:

  • Minor architectural decisions
  • Technology choices with limited scope
  • Process decisions
  • Documentation conventions

Decision

We will provide both a full and short ADR template.

The full template (ADR-0000) should be used for major architectural decisions with significant impact.

The short template (this document) should be used for smaller decisions that still benefit from documentation.

Consequences

  • Teams can choose the appropriate level of documentation
  • Reduces friction for smaller decisions
  • Still captures important context and reasoning
