Design decision documentation software that does not depend on remembering.
Every decision is a future dispute waiting to happen. Archen documents it as it is made, not when you find time.
The problem
Documentation is the first thing to go when you get slammed.
Everyone documents decisions in the calm weeks. Then three projects hit deadline at once and the logging stops. The busiest stretch, the one with the most decisions, is the one with no record.
That gap is exactly where disputes live.
The client dispute that surfaces six months later traces back to the three-week stretch when the logging stopped.
The solution
Archen documents the decision from the conversation around it.
The choice was made in an email, a reply, a recap. Archen reads it there and records what was decided, when, and by whom.
Even in your busiest weeks you still send those emails. You just stop logging them. Archen never needed you to log anything, so a slammed week is documented like a calm one.
Complete
A complete record, not a hopeful one.
Manual documentation is only as complete as your worst week. Here is what that looks like over a real quarter: logged by hand, next to captured by Archen.
What to document
Know what to document, then stop doing it by hand.
There are a handful of decision types worth capturing on every project: selections, approvals, scope changes, and the reasons behind them. Archen captures them from the communication where they happen.
