Decision Log and Assumption Tracking
Keep a trail of why choices were made.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Set up a decision log. Project: [PROJECT]. Decisions made so far and the reasons: [DECISIONS]. Typical decision makers: [DECISION_MAKERS].
Produce a table: ID | Date | Decision | Options considered | Reason | Decision maker | Consulted | Impact (scope, cost, time) | Review date | Status. Fill it with my decisions and mark gaps as questions. Provide rules: what deserves a log entry (anything affecting scope, budget, schedule, architecture, or stakeholders), who writes it, within what time (24 hours), where it is kept, and how to reverse a decision (new entry referencing the old).
Add a weekly review routine, a quick search guide, examples of poor entries ("Decided to change the plan") rewritten as good entries, and a way to link decisions to risks and requirements. Include a short note on confidentiality for sensitive decisions.
Provide five completed entries as examples that show the level of detail wanted, including one reversed decision, and a monthly review step that flags decisions whose review date has passed.
