Impact, Timeline, and Filters
These features help you move from “we decided” to “did it help?”
Track impact
Use impact fields after rollout to record outcomes.
| Field | Example | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Impact Category | Delivery Speed | Groups similar outcomes |
| Direction | Positive | Indicates benefit vs downside |
| Magnitude | Medium | Shows relative strength of impact |
| Notes | Cycle time reduced by 18% | Adds evidence for later reviews |
Example workflow
- Create decision during planning.
- Implement linked issues.
- Revisit after 2-4 weeks.
- Add impact category, direction, and magnitude.
- Save notes with measurable evidence.
Use timeline view
Timeline view helps you understand decision flow over time.
Use it to:
- Review decision cadence across a release
- See when key changes happened
- Identify clusters of reversed or superseded decisions
Find decisions with filters and search
Use filters for daily operations and retrospectives.
Common filter patterns:
- By status: review pending vs completed decisions
- By date range: prep release and quarter reviews
- By category: analyze architecture/process/product decisions separately
- By linked issue: trace one issue back to decision intent
Search tips:
- Search by clear title keywords
- Use category + date range for faster narrowing
- Standardize naming so search works better over time
