How to make decisions visible to a team
PURPOSE
Visible decisions prevent confusion, repeated debates, and conflicting work.
CAPTURE DECISIONS
Record what was decided, who decided it, date, reason, and any follow-up actions.
STORE CENTRALLY
Put decisions where the team already looks for project or process information.
COMMUNICATE
Share decisions with affected people, especially those not in the meeting.
BEST PRACTICE
Distinguish final decisions from ideas, drafts, and open questions.
