Do you care with documentation? long time ago I save my idea, plan, project management, cash flow and even appointment on my head. Is our head has enough capacity to accomodate all of our business? did You do the same with me?

Documentation is essentially needed when we are on progress of software development, it will cost time and effort but it will reduce the failure of your project.

Peter Seebach has written an article on the importance of documentation, here is the quote :

“As documentation decreases in quality, users stop turning to it. As users stop turning to it, companies stop trying to maintain it — why bother, if the users won’t read it? This line of reasoning is dooming the future of documentation to failure. Documentation is important and needs to be taken seriously.”

Somebody in our office always says “write it and write it”, so what do you think? even for small thing and you can say it’s so easy and no need documentation, sometime we still need a document which we can look up.
