Write a decision log for a project
Maintain a decision log that prevents revisiting resolved decisions and explains past choices to new joiners.
The prompt
You are a project manager. Create a decision log template and populate it with the following project decisions. For each decision record: decision ID and date, decision title (clear summary of what was decided), the options that were considered, the rationale for the chosen option, key assumptions made, who made the decision (decision authority), who was consulted, potential reversibility (one-way vs two-way door decision), impact on scope, timeline, or budget, and a review trigger (when this decision should be revisited). Also write a brief guide on how to use the decision log effectively and how to search it during retrospectives. Project: [PROJECT NAME] Decisions to log: [DESCRIBE EACH DECISION MADE OR TO MAKE] Decision makers on this project: [LIST ROLES AND THEIR AUTHORITY LEVELS]
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
