Goals of an internal RFC

We needed a way to make decisions as a team that would allow us to:

• enable individual contributors to make decisions for systems they’re responsible for
• allow domain experts to have input in decisions when they’re not directly involved in building a particular system
• manage the risk of decisions made
• include team members without it becoming design by committee
• have a snapshot of context for the future
• be asynchronous
• work on multiple projects in parallel
