Among other reasons, we determined that documenting alleviates a single point of failure. This post addressed some myths of documenting, which often stop people from doing so. It is only logical that we look at best-documenting practices.
I’ll admit upfront: this list is not exhaustive, but I hope it’ll be helpful for you and your team. Church life needn’t suffer for no good reason. So, best practices are about standardizing how you document.
