Why is poor-quality systems documentation a prevalent problem?
Systems professionals do not find this documenting systems as interesting as the design, testing, and implementation steps. Further, the systems professionals are typically eager or pressured to move on to another project before documentation is complete. Job security is another reason for poor systems documentation. When a system is poorly documented it is difficult to interpret, test and debug. Therefore, the programmer who understands the system becomes relatively indispensable. When the programmer leaves, a new programmer inherits maintenance responsibility for the undocumented system. Depending on the complexity, the transition period may be long and costly.
