Interesting. We argue that Confluence was the best tool we have and has some of the best search. People would rather write in GDocs, but ironically, the search has been much worse.
- NanaAmun 1y agoDo you guys just dump all the dev/depl logs and docs into Confluence? Or is it more curated?
- muzani 1y agoI'm not sure what you mean by dev/depl log, but there's architectural decision records in there. There's spike docs, which look into how long something would take - some have useful decision research, but they're generally not scrubbed out when done. Old stuff is swept into some "Archives" folder. Search is the real value though. I never remember where a certain doc is stored. But if I can remember who wrote it or some snippet from it, I can find it. They link to each other well. Another pointer is from Slack; maybe it needs this kind of combo to work well together?
- NanaAmun 1y agoYeah, that makes sense, but that "if you remember who wrote it or a snippet" part is exactly the problem for me. If you’re not already in the loop, or new to the project, that context just isn’t there. Good search should work even when your memory doesn’t.
