Publicly available architectural decision documentation and visualization tool

Project owner: Uwe van Heesch

Description of the project

The aim of this project is to implement a proof-of-concept CAISE tool that allows companies to document their architectural design decisions using different dedicated decision viewpoints. The tool was realized as a web application that is completely free of charge, publicly available and open source. It provides functionality to document, browse, update and delete architectural decisions for user defined projects. One of the main goals is to increase pace in the AD documentation process, therefore the application has a strong focus on usability. The project was published on google code under the following URL:
