# Architectural decision records
-TODO
+Architectural Decisions (ADs) are justified design choices, addressing functional or non-functional requirements that
+are architecturally significant.
+
+Architecturally Significant Requirements (ASRs) are requirements that has a measurable effect on the architecture, and
+quality of a software and/or hardware system.
+
+Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) capture a single AD and its rationale.
+ADR are meant to help one understand the reasons for a chosen architectural decision, along with its trade-offs and
+consequences.
+
+The collection of ADRs that are created and maintained in a project constitute its decision log.
+All these are within the topic of Architectural Knowledge Management (AKM), but ADR usage can be extended to design and
+other decisions (_any decision record_).
