March/April 2005 IEEE SOFTWARE 1 9 focus implications for the environment in which the
architecture is to be deployed. We believe that a key to demystifying architecture products—
to dispel or reduce the “magic”—lies in the architecture decisions concept. Why architecture
decisions? Decisions. We make them every day. Some are big, some small. So what’s the big
deal? In most architecture development processes, decisions aren’t documented explicitly …

We believe that a key to demystifying architecture products lies in the architecture decisions concept. We can make the architecture more transparent and clarify its rationale for all stakeholders by explicitly documenting major architecture decisions.
