| 2 | +# ⚠️ Should this be an ADR? |
| 3 | +Are you in doubt if this document you or your team propose needs to be an Architectural Decision Record? |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Let's check it through several questions 😊 |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Starting with a `stop question`: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +❓ Is this ADR related to a change in this specific application or service? |
| 10 | +✋ **If** the answer **is "no"**, which means that this ADR affects this application and others, **end this document here** and start writing a general Decision Record [here](https://sequra.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EN/pages/3771039771/Tech+Decision+Records#List-of-Tech-Decision-Records) |
| 11 | +👇 **If** the previous **answer is a "yes"** |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +Let's **continue** with these other questions: |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +❓ Will this ADR provoke a breaking changes or sensible modifications inside this application or services' engine, interfaces, APIs or [seams](https://archive.org/details/working-effectively-with-legacy-code/page/n51/mode/2up) `(look into chapter 4 of this book for the reference)` between domains? |
| 16 | +❓ Will this ADR introduce new architectural or software design patterns in the project (f.ex: big refactors which provide that an old feature can work in a new way, introducing a new technology/gem/package/etc ...) |
| 17 | +❓ Will this ADR impact other teams’ roadmaps or velocities meaningfully? |
| 18 | +❓ Does this ADR imply different approaches/options for which you want/need the opinion of the rest of the team? |
| 19 | +❓ Does this ADR modify/impact another existing or very similar ADR (superseeding or refining it)? |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Then, evaluate your answers: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +👉 If you checked any of those boxes, this topic does need an ADR. |
| 24 | +👉 If you didn’t check any of those boxes, doing an ADR is optional. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +**❗ Depending on your decision, either delete this section or delete this document!** |
