Why might compiling project documentation be considered such

Why might compiling project documentation be considered such as burden to the team, yet be so essential?

Solution

Project documentation shouldn\'t be a burden for the team and it is a very vital part of the project plan. The success of the project depends on how well the information is shared across all the team members. So every team member should get involved in the project documentation so that the other person in the team is aware of the steps taken towards achieving a specific step. Even the clients at most of the companies ask the team working for them to document to every change made towards the completion of a project. I agree that sometimes it is very boring to document everything but it can add a lot of value to the team and also to the project. The documentation can act as a source of knowledge when a new team member joins the team and with the documents, there won\'t be a need for knowledge transfer from all the members of the team. Such a practice is considered as a best practice in all the companies and it will keep the client or stakeholders also feel happy as they see the dedication of the team members towards their project.
