I’m starting another series of posts. This time, about documenting decisions: a topic I’m quite passionate about!
I believe this is one of the key practices every organization should follow, but one of the ones people struggle with mightily, especially in my experience working at a lot of early-stage startup companies.
While I think people recognize the intrinsic value of decision documentation, there still seems to be a common gap between theory and practice. So I’ll try to bridge that gap, and go on the record for people who want to collaborate with me :)
Here are the posts that I’ll be sharing:
- Why you should document every important decision
- Why people don’t document their decisions
- What makes a decision important enough to be worth documenting
- When should you document a decision?
- How to document decisions
Yup, we’re basically going Five Ws here!
