## Note Establishing a culture of documentation requires a few actions: ### Set expectations - Speaking in an active voice ("we will start documenting") - Providing a documentation framework for doc writers to use (see also [[Standardize Documentation Into Predictable Systems]]) ### Provide guidance - Send teammates templates - or lead by example by pointing out the templates you're using for documentation ### Follow up and communicate importance - Communicate the "why" behind requests for documentation ### Collaborate and Review - Create some standard and have a review process for documentation - Questions to ask: - Is the documentation easy to understand? - Does it provide context on the project? - Do they address the right audience? - Do they include the skills required? ### Promote Accountability - Ongoing reviews of what processes and reports documented to date - Create a repository of docs (like Notion) ## Quote(s) ![[How to Build a Culture of Documentation#How to Establish a Culture of Documentation in Your Team and or Organization]] ## Source [[How to Build a Culture of Documentation]]
