KCS Practice 2 techniques
Record information in a consistent format for efficient knowledge-capture that improves readability and findability.
Technique 2.1: Use a simple template
A template ensures a consistent article format that includes all information needed for a high-quality KCS article. Capture at the beginning of the interaction to get the most accurate context.
Technique 2.2: Complete thoughts, not complete sentences
KCS is designed to guide authors to work in a different way that enables efficient knowledge capture. Implemented properly, resolvers do not take on additional work, but work in a way that contributes to shared knowledge. Responders capture at or near the point of interaction and take notes as they work on a request.
