Documentation Lifecycle

The documentation lifecycle refers to the process of creating, maintaining, and updating documents to ensure they remain accurate and useful. It starts with drafting, where information is gathered and written. Then comes review and approval, ensuring correctness. After publication, documents are distributed to users. Over time, they are regularly reviewed and revised to reflect changes or new information. Eventually, outdated or obsolete documents are archived or removed. This cycle helps organizations keep their information current, reliable, and relevant for decision-making, compliance, and operational needs.
