Amplifying Impact: Documentation and Supply Chain Security
summary
Google Cloud’s DORA survey (36,000+ responses) measures an eight‑attribute documentation quality score and links it to security and delivery outcomes, finding teams with high‑quality internal docs are 3.8x more likely to implement pervasive security practices, 2.4x more likely to meet reliability targets, and that supply‑chain security raises organizational performance ~37% with low‑quality docs versus ~41% with high‑quality docs. Concrete steps: training, assigned doc owners, remove stale content, and bake documentation tasks into the SDLC.
