Why use a wiki?

Posted on November 29th, 2006 in Tools by KamranZaidi

A wiki lets you and your teammates collaborate online. It’s easy, efficient, and intuitive to use. Every user gets a voice and everyone’s contribution is seen, heard, and can be commented upon. In this way wikis improve and democratize communication — no one misses the ‘memo’ and anyone can send it. Wikis get information to the right people — important information (documentation, processes, ideas, communication, etc.) is available to the people who need it, not locked and buried in one person’s in-box.

* Wikis make it easy to keep all your information current and accurate.

* Information stored in wikis is dynamic. With wikis, anyone can edit a page (however, with Confluence, administrators can control view, editing, and content privileges) so content is current.

* Wikis keep your information safe. It’s virtually impossible to lose information. You can view changes made by different users or rollback to previous versions.

* Even as members of your team turn over and new employees are hired, the wiki can be an unbroken repository of knowledge that evolves with your growing organisation.
