It involves treating documentation as code (Docs-as-Code). This means storing documentation alongside the code, using simple tools like Markdown, and automating updates to ensure the documents are always current and easy to version control.

Yes. This is one of the core Benefits of documentation in Agile methodology. By capturing key architectural decisions (ADRs) and technical setups, documentation reduces knowledge silos, ensuring the role of documentation in Agile teams is to accelerate development.

The most valuable artifacts are the Agile user stories and documentation built around them (including acceptance criteria). These serve as the primary source of truth, clearly defining what is being built and why, which is the foundation of every Agile project documentation effort.

Traditional documentation is heavy, static, and created upfront. Documentation in Agile Development is lightweight documentation in Agile, focusing on "just enough" detail created just in time (JIT) to support the current sprint.

Letting them get outdated. If the standards don’t evolve with your codebase, people stop taking them seriously. Keep them alive and relevant.

Automate wherever you can. Add pre-commit hooks or CI/CD checks so the system keeps everyone on track, no nagging required.

Definitely. Setting good coding standards early saves a lot of headaches later. It keeps your codebase tidy as the team grows.

Check in on it every few months or after big framework or tool changes. Keeping it current makes it easier for everyone to follow.

Actually, they help it thrive. When the basics are standardized, you spend less time worrying about syntax and more time solving interesting problems.

No need. You can use tools like Prettier or ESLint to handle formatting. This way, reviewers can focus on what matters most- logic, structure, and clean design.
