Organizing Documentation for Development Teams

Scattered documentation across Confluence, Google Docs, Notion, README files, and Slack messages means developers waste time searching for answers or ask questions that were already documented somewhere. GitScrum's NoteVault feature keeps project documentation alongside tasks, with organized structure, templates, and cross-linking that ensures information stays findable and current.
