Description
This course is about writing, creating, and more important, structuring documentation on all levels of IT software developement. We need more than just end user documentation. Every part of software development needs its own documentation. Requirements, solutions, interfaces, need to be documented. Some of this documentation is transient or short lived, while other needs to be kept for a longer period, and maybe needs to be maintained itself over the course of their lifetime.In this course we'll explain the rationale for each of these documents, how they are related to eachother and their lifecycle. Also we'll present proposals for templates for each of these documents and how they can be structured either in a document store or in an online CMS. This course will give you insights in best practices for documentation. With some examples and a guideline on how to structure and maintain your documentation.We'll start with the rationale, explain all different types of documentation, and explain for each type how to approach and what to expect from it.Next using templates and exampes we'll show how each piece of documentation can be created.We'll show an example of a documentation structure that can be adapted to your needs. And lastly we'll give some advice on how to maintain your documentation and doc structure.
