Olena Sovyn at StaffPlus London 2023
summary
Group forms a seven‑person advisory called TADA that claims to improve architectural decisions by using a unified tech spec template plus a public Slack channel, weekly internal discussions and 30‑minute office hours. Membership rotates every six-plus months, reviews happen in three–four days, and reviewers pick from five resolutions (sponsored, needs updates, not recommended, review not needed, escalated). The built outcome is a public log of decisions that surfaces company expertise and prevents time‑travelling to understand past choices.
