TaskRox Help & User Manual

Decisions is the governance layer for high-impact outcomes that should be explicit and auditable.

Use it when a project needs a formal record of what was decided, why, by whom, and with what downstream impact.

This avoids critical outcomes being buried in email chains, meeting notes, or mixed-status register comments.

The register captures each formal decision as its own governed record.

Typical fields include: - Decision number and title - Decision statement - Rationale - Impact summary (scope, time, cost, risk, safety, quality) - Decision authority - Required date and status - Linked records and supporting evidence

Not every issue starts as a formal decision.

Project records such as RFIs, MOCs, and other change or governance signals can be promoted into a decision candidate before becoming a full decision record.

This creates a clean path from "issue detected" to "decision made" with traceable links back to source records and evidence.

Decisions follow a status path that supports controlled review and approval:

Candidate → Draft → Under Review → Awaiting Approval → Approved / Rejected / Deferred / Superseded → Closed.

Use this status model to show which decisions are still open, which are pending authority, and which outcomes are final.
