Product Decisions
How to document, track, and share the choices that shape your product — without losing the reasoning behind them.
Every product is a chain of decisions: what to build, what to defer, what to kill, and why. Most teams capture the outcome in a ticket or PRD, but lose the reasoning that made the outcome obvious at the time.
A decision without context is just an opinion someone forgot to explain.
Why decisions deserve their own system
- People leave, and institutional memory walks out the door with them.
- Markets shift, and yesterday's trade-offs need to be revisited with full context.
- New teammates onboard faster when they can read the story, not just the spec.
- AI and search only work when your reasoning is structured and connected.
