Where Engineering Knowledge Should Live
Not every artefact belongs in the same tool. Choose homes based on how knowledge needs to be found and used.
Tool sprawl is normal. The failure mode is not having multiple tools - it is having no coherent answer to where durable engineering knowledge should live.
| Kind of knowledge | Good home |
|---|---|
| Stable reference docs | Docs wiki / Notion |
| Work tracking | Issue tracker |
| Fast collaboration | Slack |
| System context, decisions, ownership, incident lessons | Institutional knowledge system |
| Code-level truth | Repository |
A simple rule
If future engineers will need the knowledge to understand a system, design a change, or respond to an incident, it should be captured in a place that connects systems, people, and history - not only in the tool where the conversation happened to occur.
