Ever found yourself staring at a complex piece of code, scratching your head and thinking, 'Why on earth did they do that?' Or perhaps you've joined a new project and inherited a system with questionable architectural choices, leaving you wondering about the reasoning behind them. Maybe you've been part of a heated debate about different technical approaches, only to have the final decision and its rationale lost. If any of these situations resonate with you, then you've already encountered the need for decision records.

This course is specifically crafted for developers and software architects who've experienced that moment of looking at a codebase and feeling a sense of "why?!". You know the feeling: tracing through intricate logic and asking, 'Why was this particular path chosen?' or perhaps wondering, 'Who were the key players involved in shaping this critical piece of our system?'

If you've ever wished for a clearer understanding of the rationale behind past architectural choices and the context surrounding those pivotal decisions, then this course is designed with you in mind. We'll demonstrate practical techniques for documenting these crucial decision-making processes, transforming those moments of confusion into opportunities for deeper insight and more effective collaboration.
