As your team grows, new engineer onboarding and keeping all of your software engineers on the same page is critical in developing stable and scalable code.
GainKnowHow helps keep consistent patterns by documenting all of your best practices in developing your software.
Sign UpREADME's are a start, but don't convey knowledge as effectively as a well-structured knowledge web in GainKnowHow.com
Learning skills in the correct order is critical to mastering complex ideas.
Putting knowledge into well-defined skills makes it clear what information is needed to do a process.
Your company's knowledge web is a living document. When you change or add a skill the relevant employees get notified of these changes.
Direct what skills you want your employees to learn by assigning them a skill deep in your knowledge web.
GainKnowHow uses a Knowledge Web of connected skills to represent how your organization runs.
Each skill is both a lesson and living documentation on how a process is done in your organization.
Users first pass a skill, then are notified to skill changes after they passed it. This keeps the relevant stakeholders informed of changes in your organization.
Your organization's processes change every day. How do you effectively communicate that with employees?
GainKnowHow.com knows exactly when an employee passed a skill and compares that skill version to the current skill version, showing the employee exactly what changed in a skill.
No company-wide emails about process changes.
See exactly what changed.
Re-qualify for out-of-date skills.
Don't throw unstructured documents at your new Engineers on day one. Learning skills in the correct order is critical to understanding the complexities of your organization.
