Disclaimer: Opinions and recommendations provided in this article are derived from my own experience and knowledge.

Solution Documentation creates value by simplifyig consumption of best practices. Solution Documentation is the collection of process steps and associated artifacts which are developed during an implementation.

Often importance of accurate process documentation is overlooked due to the difficulty in keeping up with changes. Not using standard tools and accelerators can further increase the effort and cost of process documentation. Using solution documentation tool you can start developing process documentation from Prepare and Explore implementation phases itself and you can use accelerators as starting point for the documentation.
