When I presented at WTD NA in 2017 (Treating Documentation Like Code: A Practical Account), an audience member asked me afterwards what organizational barriers I'd dealt with and how I got past them. At that point, the answer was "none" -- the road had been pretty easy so far.
Fast-forward two years and my answer is now very different. My little docs-like-code project quickly gained traction across the company. As the adoption rate grew, so did the visibility of the project up the chain of the organization. The more people knew about it, the more they either wanted to join in or to stop it in its tracks.
Through supportive education, thoughtful consideration, and consistency of messaging, I saw the project grow from a stop-gap solution to the basis for a burgeoning company-wide digital transformation effort.
