It's possible to "resolve" something / determine what to do next without writing anything down.

Often the ideal outcome is simply an agreement that Person X will move forward with approach Y.

On my last team that would result in a JIRA ticket containing the details so approach Y was documented and the reasons behind it were recorded. Then the ticket is assigned to Person X and they go ahead with the work.
