Documentation
Documentation is the process of creating, maintaining, and storing written records of a project's development, including requirements, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. It serves as a reference for developers, stakeholders, and users, ensuring that everyone involved in the project has access to accurate and up-to-date information about the system's functionality and structure.

The C4 model for visualising software architecture
The C4 Model website outlines a method for visualizing software architecture through four distinct diagram types: Context, Container, Component, and Code. This model simplifies the complexity of software systems by offering different levels of abstraction, making it easier for teams to communicate and understand architectural designs. Knowledge workers will find it useful for maintaining clarity and consistency in documentation and for facilitating effective collaboration across development teams.
