The first step on the way to your IT documentation involves some preparatory work. Take your time and make sure to create the structures which are required in the next steps.
Which laws are relevant to my company and which legal regulations have to be observed? Maybe there are any specific requirements? If you are feeling uncertain here, don’t lose heart! Just start with your IT documentation. It does not matter if some elements may be missing in the first step. The very fact to have an IT documentation available puts you way ahead of many others.
Start with the goal in mind
It is important that you file the resulting documents in a structured way. So start by defining naming conventions for your documents. By structuring your documents properly right from the start, it will be easier for you retrieve them after the digitising process and their subsequent handling will be simplified.
Are you still decided to start creating your IT documentation? Congratulations, an exciting project is waiting for you! As with each project, you need to get a clear picture of what exactly you want to achieve. Project management will be helpful to achieve a well-structured introduction or revision of your existing IT documentation.
Don’t lose sight of your goal!
