## Challenge
Mambu Process Orchestrator - a white-labelled product built on top of the Corezoid low-code engine - had no documentation, but was already being used by clients. Some with highly complex workflows taht were beginning to break in unexpected ways in an environment where no failure could be tolerated. The underlying technology was built by a Ukranian company, who were under strain following the invasion by Russia in the same time period.
There was no documentation, except for a few Confluence pages put together by engineers. The challenge was to create a documentation site, create the processes and pipelines to maintain it, and to write the content. The task was made more difficult by the fact that the product was constantly changing and I had engineering time to lean on.
## Solution
Partner with Corezoid to help them develop their documentation alongside ours. Get field-tested best practices from clients who were using the tool. Ask the Solution Engineers to sketch out the most urgent work needed and teh scope they cover when workign with clients. Compile a documentation set in the shortest time possible to fill this documentation gap.
**In the first three months:**
- Evaluated and selected options for the technical infrastructure.
- Socialized the newly established function in the company.
- Created the internal website.
- Created the initial build pipelines.
- Got to 50% product coverage.
- Wrote an initial style guide for general contributions

**In the second quarter:**
- Got product coverage to 90%.
- Moved to multi-repo setup, where engineering teams "owned" their content and maintained updates.
- Built the linting pipelines for general contributions.
- Document white-labelled products with internal customisations.

**Within the first year:**
- Publish the documentation site publicly.
- Publish the SPREAD glossary of terms.
- Create course content for new users.
**Within the last year:**
- Move to a mono-repo setup.
- Create more course content.
- Add AI enhancements to the build pipeline.
- Better monitoring of product changes.
- Re-start initiative for more people to write documentation.
