Jess RoseBeen horrifying teammates by referring to undocumented information that's held only in people's heads as "locked in meat storage".
Please use this with your teams/projects and report back on how they like it?
Alun Jones@jessie I like to remind my team of the guy I worked with, who died of a heart-attack at his home-office desk while working late one night, when I insist on documentation.
It's a lot more effective than "what if you win the lottery?" and doesn't draw nearly the same level of HR disapproval as "what if you got run over by my bus?"

Graham WattI have used the phrase "in case I get hit by a bus", dozens of times, right after explaining where my current documentation and project tracking files are located. People die, get hurt, retire, quit, but if your culture is to share/document, maybe it isn't all in my meat-storage. Oh, fun fact, our coldest office space is lovingly referred to as the "meat locker".
