Document everything!
Why it matters:
-
Traceability: If something goes wrong, you can track what happened and why.
-
Knowledge sharing: Helps team members or successors understand your work.
-
Accountability: Provides a record of actions and decisions.
-
Consistency: Ensures processes can be repeated correctly.
-
Legal/Compliance: Useful for audits, regulatory requirements, or dispute resolution.
Best Practices:
-
Use a standard format for logs and documentation.
-
Include dates, times, versions, and responsible persons.
-
Document both what was done and why it was done.
-
Update documentation regularly—outdated docs can be worse than none.
-
Use accessible tools (e.g., Confluence, SharePoint, Git repositories, or simple structured notes).
