Optimal documentation in IT projects: useful, relevant, and up-to-date. (02.04.2024)

Description

Does documentation take too much time without being useful? Is it always outdated and never sufficient? Have you given up hope of keeping documentation up-to-date? It doesn’t have to be this way!

IT IS POSSIBLE to document within reasonable limits in a way that facilitates project progress! IT IS POSSIBLE to document so that the right information is always found in the necessary place! IT IS POSSIBLE to always keep documentation up-to-date!

We have put together a course on how to create optimal documentation. In it, there will always be only useful information that is also relevant and updated.

Your course instructor and IT analyst-architect, Kaja:

Trainer Kaja Trees is an experienced IT business and system analyst who has worked in various fields and types of companies.

Hello!

I’m Kaja, an IT analyst-architect with over 20 years of experience. My strength lies in analyzing complex requirements and offering the best solutions for business processes. I have worked in various sectors, including energy, finance, telecommunications, and government. I have been involved in a wide range of projects, from software development to system integration.

Currently, I am a business analyst at Eesti Energia and a part-time teacher at ITBAC. You can view my full CV on LinkedIn.

I specialize in system analysis, architecture, and business process analysis. I have thought through and tested various documentation methods for myself. During these tests, I’ve made many mistakes, which I hope others don’t have to go through. However, when joining new developments, I repeatedly see exactly those same mistakes that can be avoided!

I am now ready to share this with all of you who feel that it’s not possible in IT projects.

Welcome to a course that will change your perception of documentation in IT projects!
