Documentation: A blueprint for effortless working!

Documenting any work done is often neglected & disregarded, whereas it's an asset which conveys the Overall Vision & Care of a project. The presence of documentation helps keep track of all aspects of an application and improves the quality of project.

Proper documentation helps in on-boarding new developers and helps in providing training to team on the ins-and-outs of the project.

Significance of Pre-release documentation :

Not only it lists the purpose and requirements of the products to be referred by stack holders(business, developers, designers) working on the products but also, acts as a proof of things to be carried out on a well planned time-line.

Significance of Post-release documentation :

Apart from being single source of truth, it is not only a user manual, a reference guide; documentation helps understanding whole purpose and functionality of product. It also eliminates the dependency and tribal knowledge.
