Project documentation is the written material in your projects. It provides information and context that stakeholders in your project need to work effectively. Good project documentation can:
Keep everyone in your project on the same page.
Improve communication between stakeholders.
Reduce project risks and ensure better results.

Project documentation is often owned by the project manager. It’s their job to make sure key information is documented, accurate and easy for the team to access.
But not every team has a dedicated project manager. In those cases, project documentation is usually written by the project driver — the person responsible for keeping the work moving and making sure decisions, timelines and responsibilities are clearly recorded.
MeisterTask includes Notes, a centralized space for project documentation. It helps teams collaborate on projects, plans and processes without having to share files by email.
Notes lets you add simple content blocks, like headings, quotes and info boxes, so you can create well-formatted project documentation that's easy to read.
Project documentation should facilitate project success, not become a job in itself. Use the Notes feature in MeisterTask to document your project goals, then create tasks directly from there to track in your project board.
