Out-of-date products docs are a universal problem. Before any of us build, we start with an idea, which we jot down and then flesh out with requirements and specs. Some call it a brief; others a PRD or spec. Yet the purpose is all the same: to capture a promising idea. But as we begin to build and our ideas grow, our docs are left to languish. Scope is defined and redefined, tradeoffs are weighed, and timelines shift, but little of that makes its way back to the original doc.
All this raises the question: how can product docs serve as a consistent source of truth over time, without relying on someone diligently transcribing updates after each discussion? Keeping docs current isn’t the most tiresome task of project management, but truth is, it’s just inconvenient enough to frequently shirk.
This fall, we hope to change that with autonomously updated product docs. First of their kind, our docs track and record key takeaways from your team’s conversations, in real-time. Scope decisions, project owner changes, open questions — every twist and turn is captured with autonomous documents.
No more sifting through DMs and threads to remember what was decided in the end and why. No more wasted work with engineers implementing to outdated specs, and no more last minute scope miscommunication with product marketing.
Your ideas are ever-changing, so why shouldn’t your docs be too?
Join the waitlist for Height 2.0 and say goodbye to stale product docs for good.
