Architecture Decision Records: Collaborative Decision Making that Sticks

Early in 2021, Lullabot's CEO gave the team a goal: find ways to standardize and simplify our processes across multiple projects. While Lullabot has a long history of sharing Drupal best practices through articles, podcasts, and open source contributions, we wanted to improve our work when teams transitioned between projects or when teams were reformed with different members. After research and discussion, Lullabot decided to implement Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). Lullabot has published over 35 ADRs that are publicly available at architecture.lullabot.com. The journey was a long one, with many challenges to overcome!
