In a fictional dispatch-product team, the same debate keeps returning: should the next release prioritize a daily route summary or live vehicle tracking? The team has chosen the route summary for now because stop information is inconsistent, but a new teammate sees only the backlog item and assumes the tracking idea was rejected permanently.

We are trying a small decision note with the customer context, selected choice, strongest alternative and a revisit trigger. The concern is maintenance. A long document will quickly become stale, while a single sentence may hide the reasoning that matters. We would like the note to be useful during engineering and support handoffs without creating another reporting chore.

Have you found a format that stays current in a busy team? Who records the decision, and when does the team revisit it? Please share a structure or habit rather than confidential internal notes. This is a demo discussion about a fictional product decision.
