Single Source of Truth for Product Decisions
Stop duplicating decisions across Slack, Notion, Jira, and slide decks.
When decisions live in five places, each place becomes slightly wrong. Slack has the debate. Notion has a summary. Jira has a ticket title. The board deck has a bullet. None of them link to each other.
We thought Notion was our source of truth until we realized engineers never opened it.
Principles for one source of truth
- One canonical record per decision — other tools link to it
- Lives where product thinking already happens, not a separate archive
- Readable by eng, design, and leadership without translation
- Connected to evidence, not floating bullet points
- Updated in place when superseded, with history preserved
| Anti-pattern | Why it fails | Better approach |
|---|---|---|
| Decisions only in chat | Unsearchable, lost in scrollback | Capture in a linked record when converged |
| PRD as decision log | Specs change; decisions get buried | Separate decision layer linked from specs |
| Wiki nobody maintains | Stale on arrival | Lightweight capture at decision time |
| Duplicate copies per team | Drift between versions | One record, many links |
