Use Markdown Architectural Decision Records

Context and Problem Statement

We want to record architectural decisions made in this project. Which format and structure should these records follow?

Considered Options

• MADR 2.1.2 – The Markdown Architectural Decision Records
• Formless – No conventions for file format and structure

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: "MADR 2.1.2", because

• We need to start somewhere, and it's better to have some format than no format.
• MADR seems to be good enough for our current needs.
