Introduction

Why documentation is important

Good documentation is vital for maintaining and managing projects. When a project grows, it might be hard to track existing features, pages, components, services, and what all of them.

Example

Code and functionality are forgotten, especially when team members change. If there’s no documentation or guidelines to follow, a project can have as many different styles and opinions as members of the team. When everyone is doing things differently, any project can quickly become hard to maintain. For that reason, documenting the project is very important.

Type of documentation

There are different types of documentation that are usually involved in a project. Project documentation can usually be divided into two categories: process and product.
