Decisioning Practices

Step 6: Documenting Decisions

Finally, after six arduous steps, we arrive at the final frontier: documentation. This is where the rubber meets the road, or rather, where the many-armed band-aid meets the decision.

Here's a step-by-step guide to documenting your decisions, because who doesn't love more paper and ink?

1. Write down the decision, including the reasoning behind it. Don't be shy, folks!
2. Include any and all stakeholders, so everyone knows who's on first name terms with whom.
3. Attach any relevant data, like spreadsheets and whatnot.
4. Save it all to a fancy PDF, because who needs a printer when you have a PDF?
5. Share it with the world, or at least with the team, so everyone's on the same page.
6. Update it regularly, because decisions are like buses, and if you don't document them, they'll just keep coming back to haunt you.

And that's it! You've made it to the end of Decisioning Practices. Congratulations, you've earned your many-armed band-aid.

Step 7: Evaluation and Re-evaluation - because, let's be real, decisions are never really final.
