Gardeners, Artisans or Engineers... but Not Minstrels
summary
The talk examines how to capture and share the essential knowledge needed to work on a product—design decisions, architecture history, onboarding steps, and post-incident measures—so teams stop relying on informal word-of-mouth. It discusses approaches to avoid “knowledge jugglers” (knowledge silos) and make information accessible for new or inexperienced teammates, facilitating team growth and preserving institutional memory.
