Nailed this on the head.
At the same time, the extra work this requires is often not appreciated by management either - I've seen some (admittedly poor) managers comment on lower productivity due to the documentation efforts.
- projectazorian 4y agoIt may not be appreciated by management in terms of someone saying “wow, your documentation was incredible, here’s that raise/promotion.” But the people who interact with your documentation will appreciate it, which raises your stature in the organization long term. And management priorities change over time, it’s not uncommon for companies to emphasize documentation more as they mature.
