We use the Iteration X documents feature and the AI copilot: it finds anything from your knowledge base in natural language and can summarize and write docs

You never think you need to have all your procedures and processes documented until the day you need them! Don't wait for that day.
I've been building my knowledge-base on @gitbookio for years and love the layout and structure they have that simply organizes my information.
I'm giving Notion a try for a comparison and find some of the customization options for text surprisingly limited but they do have an active Ai interface where Gitbook is in beta at this moment.
We rely on a knowledge base or knowledge management system (https://document360.com/knowledg...) for all project documentation and Knowledge transfer. We ensure all the stages of the project is documented clearly, right from requirements capturing, progress, and release. This documentation is made available for business analysts, clients, product owners and, in some cases, lead developers.
Here are some steps
1. Harness Collaborative Technology: Leverage web-based project collaboration software and cloud-based storage solutions to facilitate seamless communication and sharing of project information, resources, and documents.
2. Establish a Knowledge Repository: Designate a central repository for project-related information, encompassing team member expertise, project documentation, and other essential resources.
3. Establish Standard Operating Procedures: Develop clear and concise standard operating procedures (SOPs) outlining project processes and the acquisition, storage, and transfer of knowledge.
4. Promote Knowledge Sharing: Foster an atmosphere that encourages team members to share knowledge and actively promotes collaborative efforts.
As a small team, we just discussed it yesterday and come up with Notion. Before that it was all in Slack and Google Drive.

In my previous role, we used to build a TIP document for every feature we're going to build.
A TIP document usually has all the fields required for a feature specification for all the stakeholders like,
Problem - involves purpose and WHYs
Discovery - involves research
Delivery - involves solutions (Figma prototype, front-end)
This helped us a lot keeping everything related to a feature at one place.
We don’t use any fancy tools - We use Google docs knowledge documentation and loom videos for knowledge sharing, and a Google drive to keep everything organized. I will say being organized is not my natural state but I have found it SO necessary as we continue to build and grow. Interested to know if there is a fancy tool that would actually be helpful and not just more work!

For project documentation, I rely on collaborative tools like Notion or Confluence to keep everything organized and accessible, ensuring updates are made in real-time. Knowledge transfer is a mix of structured meetings, written guides, and hands-on sessions to accommodate different learning styles.
Managing project documentation and facilitating knowledge transfer are crucial aspects of ensuring smooth collaboration and continuity within a team. Personally, I've found that employing a combination of organized documentation practices and effective communication strategies greatly enhances these processes. Utilizing tools like AiToolsKit.ai, which offers a suite of free resources encompassing AI, SEO, writing assistance, YouTube, and social media management, can streamline these tasks. From creating comprehensive project documentation to facilitating seamless knowledge sharing through content optimization and collaboration tools, AiToolsKit.ai provides the necessary support to enhance team productivity and ensure the smooth transfer of knowledge across projects. By leveraging such tools, you can not only maintain clarity and consistency in your project documentation but also foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement within your team.

Now we don't have any documentation, however, we discuss everything on calls.

Launching soon!
I document code as I go along + try and keep docs up to date, Notion helps a lot with that + GitHub READMEs lol
We use Notion and it's great!

For project documentation and knowledge transfer, I rely on collaborative tools like Jira/Confluence and ensure that all information is well-organized and accessible. Regular training sessions and detailed documentation are key.
We are constantly improving documentation , but Notion is crucial for us
@pabloroig_clous Notion is our way to go for knowledge!

Hi Esra! Currently working on launching Llanai. We are a team of 3 members working in different locations and timezones. What works for us till now is... Google Workspace. Organizing our folders in our drive is key.
For example we include files such as: Launch, Organic Content, Paid Content, Go to Market Strategy, Brand etc.
We communicate directly through Signal as a small team and use google sheets on new documentation
As a company founded by 3 people we don't need to use any tool such as Notion because it just adds extra steps. We inform each other simply via private chat groups only dedicated to work tasks.
