In short

A decision log records each decision a team makes with what was decided, who decided, when, why and when to revisit it. This template keeps the log on a live board with columns for waiting, context, decided and revisit, and a 30-minute weekly review that makes ready decisions and logs those made elsewhere.

What's inside

The agenda

How to run it

  1. 1Use the same board every week so the log builds up over time.
  2. 2Collect waiting decisions from phones with a deadline and a decider for each.
  3. 3Make the ready ones and add a card to Decided with one sentence, who decided, the date and a revisit date.
  4. 4Log decisions made outside the meeting too. The summary links every decision to the meeting it came from.

Questions people ask

What is a decision log?
A running record of decisions: what was decided, who decided, when, the options considered and the reasoning. It stops teams reopening settled questions and helps new people understand why things are the way they are.
What should a decision log template include?
The decision in one sentence, the date, who decided, options considered, the reasoning, who's affected and a date to revisit it if needed.
How is a decision log different from a RAID log?
A RAID log tracks risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies; some versions use the D for decisions. A dedicated decision log goes deeper on the reasoning behind each choice.
