Even if you are starting something from scratch, you probably don’t have to start from zero: there is a good chance that other people have worked on something similar before, or came up with processes and solutions that you can apply to your project. The challenge is finding the approaches that would work for you.

This chapter explains approaches you can follow, why and how you can use them, and why they can be beneficial for any documentation project:
  • Documentation as a product

  • Design Thinking

  • Docs as Code
