IT documentation turns fragile individual knowledge into operational capability that survives staff changes, vendor transitions, and emergencies.

Business outcome

A more supportable environment where users, administrators, vendors, and leadership can understand how key technology actually works.

What this pillar covers

This pillar connects SOPs, runbooks, knowledge bases, onboarding, asset records, CMDB planning, and disaster recovery documentation.

  • SOPs and runbooks
  • Knowledge bases
  • Onboarding and offboarding guides
  • Asset and CMDB planning
  • Disaster recovery documentation
  • Administrator handoffs

Why it matters

If a process cannot be explained, repeated, or handed off, it is an operational risk. Documentation reduces repeat issues and makes support faster.

Best starting point

Start with the workflows that cause the most confusion: onboarding, permissions, device deployment, ProjectWise issues, Microsoft 365 administration, and recovery steps.
