Documenting Your Org

Course Overview

Having a documentation strategy and culture is critical for any team and business to ensure the institutional knowledge of how the system works, why was is set up, how was it changed, and who uses it, are not lost over time.

Many organizations accumulate crippling technical debt because they lack the understanding of their own systems.
