Why IT documentation is crucial
Good IT documentation - how systems are set up, who has access, what to do when something breaks - prevents mistakes, speeds up onboarding and raises security. It turns knowledge trapped in one person's head into something the whole team can use and check.
Continuity
No single point of failure when the person who 'knows' is away.
Onboarding & speed
New people get productive faster and fixes are quicker.
Security
Documented access and configuration is auditable and easier to secure.
