Teams make decisions all the time. About technical choices, about collaboration, about process. And they make working agreements. The problem: those decisions live in Slack, in someone’s head, or in a whiteboard photo nobody can find anymore. Governance gives teams one place — with context, date and validity period.
The Governance module consists of two parts:
Decisions: every decision gets a title, a rationale, the name of the decision-maker, a date and a status (active or superseded). That way you can always trace why something was decided — and what happened to it afterwards.
Working agreements: agreements about how the team works are recorded with a validity period. An expired agreement doesn’t quietly keep binding anyone. Expired working agreements disappear from the active overview but remain visible in the archive.
From the team page you add decisions and working agreements. You mark decisions as ‘superseded’ once a newer version has been taken — the old decision doesn’t vanish, but it’s clear it’s no longer leading.
Working agreements with an expired validity period are automatically filtered out of the active overview. The archive stays fully intact for looking back or audits.
Governance is meant for teams, Scrum Masters and RTEs who want to make their decision-making transparent and prevent knowledge from disappearing when team members leave or switch roles.
