Decision Log

How decision logs preserve project context and judgment.

01

Context disappears quickly

Rationale is easy to lose.

02

Decision Log is not meeting notes

Keep consequential choices.

03

Framework: Question → Decision → Rationale → Owner → Consequence

Use five layers.

04

Rationale preserves meaning

Know when to reconsider.

05

Record alternatives for major trade-offs

Keep rejected options when useful.

06

Use timestamp and status

Avoid stale decisions.

07

Reduce knowledge risk

Turn tacit memory into shared memory.

08

Decision is evidence

It shows judgment.

09

Applying this on Forwork

Use a Decision Block linked to Scope, Milestones, Risk, Results.
