Repository Database

A Repository Database refers to a structured collection of digital assets used in software development, including guidelines, playbooks, and templates. This repository acts as a centralised hub for storing and managing critical documents and resources necessary for project execution.

Purpose

The primary purpose of the Repository Database is to:

• Provide a central, accessible location for all project-related documents.
• Facilitate easy updates and maintenance of documentation.
• Support knowledge sharing and transfer within and across teams.

Anti-patterns

• Poor Accessibility: Failing to ensure that all team members can access the repository when needed.
• Lack of Version Control: Not maintaining versions or change logs, leading to confusion over the most current documents.
• Inconsistent Updates: Allowing documents to become outdated, which can mislead new project initiatives.
• Limited Searchability: Not implementing sufficient search functions, making it difficult to find specific documents quickly.
