Guidlines tae Achieve Sustainable Decisiouns

We lairnt the follaein lessons in oor wark that can serve as guidlines an assessment for achievin sustainable decisiouns:

Uise a lean/minimalistic approach for the initial decisioun documentation.
Prioritise an tak doun aw important decisiouns that are relevant eneuch for documentin an unnerstaunin the target architectur.
Detail the particularly important decisiouns wi fu-blawn templates juist efter the initial wark haes been duin (that is, whan the decisioun makers are content wi the architectural decisiouns made an confident that thir decisiouns dinnae hae tae be revised onie time sune).
Uise the lean/minimalistic versiouns frae step 1 as a short version o documentit decisiouns wi the richt granularity level tae provide an owerview o the detailed decisiouns, as weel as for trivial or obvious decisiouns.
Wharever possible, uise existin architectural knowledge, either frae guidance models or frae ither sources. Review an extend sic knowledge an fit it tae the context o the specific decisioun.
Ensure that traceability links are establisht atween decisiouns an baith requirements an architectural designs/code.
Provide automatit consistency checkin tae mak siccar the traceability links are in sync efter a chynge. Limit the nummer o dependencies atween decisiouns an ither saftware artefacts.
Apply the guidlines for the justifications consequently an forcefully—they’re the maist important pairt o the decisioun documentation because they gie the rationale.
