ADR Templates: 5 Variations for Different Contexts + Governance Automation

One ADR template does not fit every architectural context. Five purpose-built variations — for standard decisions, agentic AI, cross-domain impact, fast delivery, and high-risk reversals — plus governance automation to make the system run without manual follow-up.

...all because nobody built a template for them. And the architecture register slowly fills with noise, gaps, and outdated entries that nobody trusts. The problem is not that engineers avoid documentation....

Developer Experience Is Not a Perk. It Is a Delivery Control System.

Developer experience is not about making developers happy. It is about controlling the conditions that determine delivery output. Organizations that treat DX as a perk have removed the control system from their delivery engine without knowing it.

...Governance Structure Delivery metrics are reviewed every sprint. DX metrics are reviewed every quarter. That gap is the problem. If a delivery control variable is only checked four times a year, it is not under...
