Do the pain work for the company. Either build a "import" script from the most common knowledge repos (mediawiki, [confluence|https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence] https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence]). Worst case I wonder if you could hire interns and do it for them for a "fee" - e.g. $5000 one-time import fee or base it off the # of pages,etc.
I think for any company the problem exists in 2 places:
1) Ticketing System (think jira) (Things that got done, need to get done and wishful thinking that may never get done). Almost all projects have a phase 2 but most of them never happen, so this data is important but most likely gets lost in tickets
2) Process - When you have to do a deployment, there are a ton of checklist items you have to do. The specific order and all the various use-cases that you may or may not have to do a specific change varies. Storing this information is invaluable and needs to be part of the process and knowledge base
I haven't used your system or know what you are thinking, but I feel that providing tools that make both developer and product managers life easier and WANT to use (print friendly, responsive design/etc) is what you want to build.
Just some more thoughts :)
- LillieRanney 13y agoI never actually thought of charging for uploading that type of info, and what I mean is, I never figured people would think that was valuable. That wasn't a route we thought of taking. Such a good idea. Do you have any more thoughts? Yours have been the most helpful since? Also if it's easier, my email is lr371308@ohio.edu Thank you so much, these are great to read!
- LillieRanney 13y agoActually, in your opinion, do you think going from college to college would be a good route, seeing as it's a portfolio site? Have them start early in their freshman year, and begin to accumulate their work through their "career" so they have it when they are prospecting for jobs in their senior year. Or, in between for internships? Was also thinking this would be a good site to begin to accumulate work in general for a business professional. Just having them get into the habit of uploading work (keep it private if they want), so that they have it for their next career move. As you can see, there are a lot of different routes we can go, just am trying to envision which is the fastest to growth. I'd assume college students are the easiest, as they are tech savvy and are always trying to find jobs/internships/accumulating class work through their college years. Just curious for your opinion. Thank you!
