Simil picks up the decision and the reason with it, then asks someone who was there to confirm it. Nothing reaches the feed until a person confirms it.

This sounds like a decision. Can you confirm it?

Retire the v1 API on 30 June.

Why

The last two customers on v1 have moved to v2.

Owner

Dan Okafor

Confirm

Edit

Not a decision

Confirmed by Dan. It’s now in Decisions, with its reason.

Message #platform

It says something when the work moves.

When new work goes against a decision, or something it holds on stops being true, the owner hears first. They choose whether it still holds, changes or is replaced.

EU customer data moved to backup regions

Make the call

Leo’s plan goes against this decision. Which should stand?

Leo Marchetti posted the plan in #platform-eng on 14 Oct.

This decision · #ops-eu · 2 Oct

All EU enterprise data stays on the backup regions.

Leo’s plan · #platform-eng · 14 Oct

Move Hamburg Pharma back to Dublin from 20 Oct.

Keep this decision

Simil suggests

Leo’s plan is paused and he’s told why

Allow an exception for Hamburg Pharma

Both stand. The exception is recorded here

Replace it with Leo’s plan

This decision is marked superseded

Why Simil suggests it: Dublin has had two incidents since 1 Oct and Network Ops hasn’t marked it recovered.

Continue

Kept. Leo’s plan is paused and he’s told why.

The questions people ask.

Is this monitoring?

No screens, no keystrokes, no activity scores, no hours. It keeps decisions and events on projects, and everyone in a channel can see Simil is there.

Does it read our private channels?

Only if someone inside invites it, and everyone in the channel sees it join.

Is it AI?

It uses it to pick decisions out of conversations. A person always has the final say.

What if we change our minds?

Then you change the decision, and the old one stays underneath it with the date. A change the team chose is the product working.

What if I made the wrong call?

What was known at the time sits with the decision. That is usually the best thing you can have in the room.

Try it with your team.
