Decision records for analysts who inherit systems

A practicum note on capturing context and revisit triggers so the next person is not guessing from chat logs.

Person writing notes beside a laptop during documentation practice

Chat is a terrible archive. In the decision record practicum we write short entries: context, options, choice, and what would force a revisit.

Trainees reconstruct one past choice from memory, then compare it with what actually happened. The gaps become the curriculum.

You do not need a heavy process. You need a habit that fits a Bac Ninh studio afternoon and still helps six months later.
