I love the idea of less meetings and more documentation, but I've never seen it work. Here's a few observations...
a. you need a person who "curates" the documentation, otherwise it completely loses organization quickly
b. things become out of date fast and it's not clear if you're reading something out-of-date
c. people write too much, meaning - things turn into this huge long form internal article and people get exhausted in just reading through it. Writing is actually quite hard.
I don't have a better solution/approach to recommend (besides having a curator), but the "less meetings / more documentation" train always seemed oversold to what I've experienced first hand.
- baby 4y agoI don't think these means that documentation doesn't work. It means that while documentation works, there's a number of additional issues that you also have when you use documentation. Try having no documentation instead of disorganized or outdated documentation. I'll take the latter.
