Architecture Decision Record (ADR)

During the Architecture Design phase of the SDLC each Architectural Decision is meticulously recorded in an ADR.These ADRs serve as a safeguard to ensure that the Architectural Design remains free from unverified assumptions. This proactive approach prevents situations where, at a later stage in the process, it becomes apparent that the design cannot be feasibly implemented.

It contains the following sections:

• Problem Description
• Possible Solutions
• Chosen Solution
• Evidence

Evidence can be presented in various forms. They can be the outcome of Research, results of a Spike, or a working Proof of Concept (PoC).
