I try to keep good documentation on what goes on in the office. Gus says it is good. I always think it can be better. The problem with documentation is that it gets stale quick if you are in a very dynamic environment like I work in.
We have a document we aptly call what runs where? It is a list of all tasks and jobs that run in our production environment. The problem I keep having is that no one updates the dam thing. We tell everyone, update the file. No one does. Today will be a day to bust heads and get the doc updated. I hope it will work. I need certain information out of this document to be complete so I can work on a new notification project I am planning.
After that I really should update our network visio map’s. Then our standards documents, and disaster recovery, etc. You get the picture. All these documents are really detailed, but after a few weeks the details tend to change. And if you haven’t ever done documentation before, it is really boring. Except Visio. I find working in Visio to be therapeutic. Not sure why, but I do. Call me crazy…
