Project Management - Wiki

Advantages:

  • Linking: in a wiki, inside the same wiki, or any web-page - really fast without much effort.

  • Versioning. wiki source can easily be version controlled. Most wikis provide simple and quick methods to display page differences.

  • Searching.

  • Sharing. Everyone in the team can correct/add articles to the wiki, with a very low overhead.

This makes writing documentation really fast, and that is user friendly to me as a developer, since I do not need to delay other work for the sake of being able to communicate how and what i have done, i.e. setup of an IDE, or building a software project. As i said, when it comes to documenting installations etc. I can do it simultaneously, and we all know that if it’s not done immediately, it won’t be done for a long time, if even at all.

Usage

  • wikis are tools for information management and collaboration, not for creating shiny Docs/Presentations for customers.
