DecisionM

Decision Log Management

DecisionM is the integrated decision log management module within the goPLIMS suite, enabling organisations to document collaborative decision-making and record key project and work decisions in a structured, transparent and fully traceable way. It captures all the essential elements, ensuring everyone knows who decided what, when and why, and how the team arrived at that outcome.

By centralising decision logs into a single, searchable knowledge base, DecisionM helps to formalise and document collaborative decisions with full context and rationale, prevent repetitive discussions, avoid repeated mistakes, improve future decision-making, support risk management, retain critical knowledge and make onboarding new team members faster and more effective

Capture – Confirm – Control

Our Pillars

CAPTURE

  • Record every key decision using a structured log with date, topic, context/problem, options, rationale and outcome.
  • Assign a clear owner to each decision to define responsibility and traceability.
  • Link decisions to projects, workstreams, risks or tasks to keep context and impact visible.

CONFIRM

  • Use the decision log as the single point of reference to agree and confirm what has been decided.
  • Share decisions with stakeholders so they can review, acknowledge and align on the agreed direction.
  • Reduce repeated debates by referring back to the documented decision, its rationale and responsible owner.

CONTROL

  • Maintain a central, searchable repository of all decisions to support governance, audits and reviews.
  • Control access and editing rights to protect the integrity of recorded decisions and avoid conflicting versions.
  • Use historical decisions to guide future choices, manage risk proactively and ensure consistent ways of working across teams.
Challenge

Key project decisions are scattered across emails, chats and meetings, making it hard to know who decided what, when and why.

Solution

DecisionM centralises all decisions in a structured log with clear owners, dates and rationale, giving every stakeholder transparent visibility of past decisions.

Challenge

Teams repeatedly revisit the same discussions because previous decisions are not clearly documented or easily accessible.

Solution

DecisionM creates a single, searchable decision history that can be quickly referenced, preventing repetitive debates and helping teams move forward with confidence.

Challenge

Audits, reviews and steering committees often struggle to reconstruct why decisions were made, relying on fragmented emails, minutes and memories.

Solution

DecisionM provides a clear, searchable record of all decisions and approvals in one place, streamlining governance activities and making reviews and audits faster, easier and more reliable.

Challenge

Poorly tracked decisions increase the risk of inconsistent actions, repeated mistakes and missed opportunities for process improvement.

Solution

DecisionM links decisions to projects, workstreams and risks, helping teams learn from past choices, standardise responses and manage risk more proactively.
