Finding Decisions and Approvals

Find decision notes and approval signals across tasks, requirements, and comments.

Overview

Decisions often live in comments, meeting summaries, and status changes.

Console finds them without manual digging.

Key Concepts

  • Decision: explicit direction that changes scope or execution

  • Approval: confirmation that a requirement or deliverable is accepted

  • Decision pattern: consistent formatting used for retrieval, such as Decision:

How It’s Used

Use this workflow during governance meetings.

Use it after meetings to validate what was decided and what changed.

Benefits

  • Faster decision retrieval

  • Clearer audit trail for approvals

  • Reduced rework caused by lost context

Setup Steps

1

Open Console

  1. Open Console.

  2. Confirm Project scope (if prompted).

2

Use decision-focused queries

For example:

  • decisions from last week

  • what was approved for revenue recognition

  • show approvals for UAT scope

  • summarize key decisions for project X

Screenshot placeholder: Console search box with a decision query and results list.

3

Open the source item

  1. Click the best result.

  2. Jump to the original requirement/task/comment.

  3. Copy the permalink for sharing, when needed.

Best Practices

Use a consistent comment pattern:

  • Decision: what was decided

  • Approved by: who approved

  • Date: when it was approved

  • Scope: what it applies to

For example:

Decision: Approve revenue recognition rules v2. Approved by: Line of Business lead. Date: 2026-02-17. Scope: Order-to-Cash.

Troubleshooting

Console results look incomplete

Common causes:

  • access is limited to certain Organizations or Projects

  • decisions were captured outside Transform

  • decision language is inconsistent (“ok”, “yep”, “LGTM”)

Fix: standardize on Decision: and Approved by: comments.

I need an audit-grade approval trail

Use item history and audit trail views where available.

See Audit Trail and Compliance.

Summary

Decisions are easiest to find when captured consistently and linked to the source item.

Console should be used with source validation for audit-grade outcomes.
