## Introduction This document serves as the first draft of our Documentation Structure Blueprint, providing a framework for organizing and accessing Inverter's internal knowledge base. It is designed to guide team members through the various documentation layers, ensuring efficient information flow and management. ## Why do we need an internal documentation ### Centralized Source of Truth - **Consistency and Accuracy**: A well-designed internal documentation acts as a central source of truth for the entire organization. It ensures that all team members have access to the same accurate, up-to-date information, which is crucial for maintaining consistency across various projects and departments. - **Reduces Miscommunication**: When everyone references the same documentation, the likelihood of misunderstandings or misinterpretations is significantly reduced. This is especially important in complex projects or when dealing with intricate product details. ### Enhances Productivity and Efficiency - **Quick Access to Information**: Well-organized documentation allows team members to quickly find the information they need, reducing the time spent searching for details or clarifications. This speeds up decision-making and problem-solving processes. - **Streamlines Onboarding**: New employees can ramp up faster when they have comprehensive, clear, and accessible documentation. This reduces the training burden on existing staff and helps new hires become productive more quickly. ### Fosters Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing - **Facilitates Cross-Functional Work**: In environments where teams work cross-functionally, having a common documentation repository ensures that everyone, regardless of their department, has access to the same information. This encourages collaboration and helps break down silos. - **Preserves Organizational Knowledge**: Well-maintained documentation captures and preserves the collective knowledge of the organization. This is invaluable in mitigating knowledge loss due to employee turnover. ### Supports Continuous Improvement - **Reference for Improvement**: Documentation provides a baseline that teams can refer to when looking to improve processes or update practices. It offers a historical view of decisions and changes, which can be invaluable for continuous improvement efforts. Based on our conversation, here's a comprehensive overview covering the requirements for designing the internal documentation, its importance, and a description of each section: ## Requirements for Designing Internal Documentation 1. **Clarity and Accessibility**: The documentation should be easy to navigate and understand, ensuring that all team members can quickly find the information they need. 2. **Scalability**: As the company grows, the documentation should be able to accommodate new information, projects, or processes without becoming cumbersome. 3. **Comprehensiveness**: It should cover all relevant aspects of the company's operations, including business structure, development guidelines, client projects, and more. 4. **Consistency**: The documentation should maintain a consistent format and style across all sections to facilitate ease of reading and comprehension. 5. **Up-to-date Information**: Regular updates are necessary to ensure that the documentation reflects the current state of the company and its projects. ## Description of Each Section ### Overview - **Company Vision and Objectives**: Describes the company's mission, long-term vision, and primary goals. - **Team Overview**: Lists key team members, their roles, and a brief description of each department. ### Internal Business Structure - **Organizational Chart**: Visual representation of the company’s hierarchical structure. - **Roles and Responsibilities**: Details the specific responsibilities and duties associated with each role. - **Internal Communication Protocols**: Outlines the standard procedures and channels for internal communication. ### Governance and Policies - **Web3 Compliance and Regulatory Policies**: Guidelines and procedures to ensure compliance with laws and regulations specific to web3 and blockchain. - **Decentralization and Data Integrity Standards**: Standards and practices focusing on maintaining decentralization and data integrity in web3 applications. ### Development Guidelines - **Simplified Development Lifecycle**: Describes the stages of development from design to deployment. - **Coding Standards**: Defines coding conventions and best practices to maintain code quality. - **Tool Overview**: Lists and explains the tools used in development, testing, and communication. ### Business Development Pipeline - **Market Analysis**: Research and insights into market trends and potential opportunities. - **Potential Client Engagement Strategy**: Strategies for identifying and engaging potential clients. - **Client Onboarding Process**: Steps for integrating new clients into the company's workflow. - **Transition to Development Team**: Procedures for handing over client projects to the development team. ### Inverter Protocol Development - **Requirements and Business Logic**: - **Business Logic Document**: Describes the underlying business rules of the Inverter Protocol. - **Development Requirements**: Specifies technical requirements and guidelines for protocol development. - **General Documents**: A repository of various relevant documents and resources. - **Research**: Section dedicated to research findings and documents relevant to the Inverter Protocol. - **Smart Contract Development**: Includes development overview, code documentation, testing, and security standards related to smart contracts. Should redirect to Github - **Frontend Development**: Details on UI/UX design, content, implementation details, best practices, testing, and security in frontend development. ### Projects - **Project Name**: Each project has its dedicated subsection with the following components: - **Overview and Engagement**: - **Project Overview**: General introduction and summary of the project. - **Business Logic Document**: Specific business logic pertaining to the project. - **Development Requirements**: Technical and business requirements for the project. - **Handover Documentation**: Documentation for transitioning the project at various stages. - **Continuous Engagement**: Ongoing updates, feedback, and communication with project owners. - **General Documents**: Diverse documents related to the project, organized and tagged for easy access. - **Research**: Research materials and findings specific to the project. - **Smart Contract Development**: Details of the smart contract development for the project, including module development, integration strategies, and documentation links. - **UI/UX**: Design and content details for the project's frontend interface. ### Repository Management - **Smart Contract Repository Management**: Guidelines for managing the version control and code review processes for smart contract development. - **Frontend Repository Management**: Similar guidelines tailored for frontend development repositories. ### Feedback and Continuous Improvement - **Improvement Suggestions**: Mechanisms for team members to propose enhancements and feedback. - **Documentation Review Process**: Procedures for regularly reviewing and updating the documentation. ### Appendix - **Shared Language and Terminology**: Definitions of common terms, acronyms, and jargon used within the organization. - **Document Change Log**: Record of updates and changes made to the documentation. ## Detailed Layout ### Bullet Point Format - **Documentation Root** - **Overview** - Company Vision and Objectives - Team Overview -
