Send us a textDocumentation is often neglected in many IT projects.  This week, we talk about why it is so important, and the risks involved if you don't do it.Some of the most fundamental things you need to document are:Passwords - and do it securely in a password vaultData dictionary so everyone knows how measures and KPIs are definedConfiguration - so there is a clear understanding of where everything livesReasons behind decisions - because there might be a good reason for not doing something in the obvious wayHow you do it is up to you and your use case - it's important that it shouldn't become too onerous, and Agile is no excuse for not doing it - if all your developers leave with all your service account passwords in their heads, you're sunk.And documentation can be as simple as a OneNote notebook and comments in code, or something more complex such as a set of Confluence pages.But however you do it, make sure you ACTUALLY DO IT!!You can download Power BI Desktop from here.If you already use Power BI, or are considering it, we strongly recommend you join your local Power BI user group here.To find out more about our services and the help we can offer, contact us at one of the websites below:UK and Europe: https://www.clearlycloudy.co.uk/North America: https://www.clearlysolutions.net/
