Every answer traceable

Code built on a guessed basis is a bug in waiting. Every answer from the colleague shows which document version it rests on.

How you work it in Colleag

  1. 1

    Ask the question in the editor or in chat.

  2. 2

    The answer arrives with source and document version.

  3. 3

    Review against the source when it is critical.

  4. 4

    The version travels into code review as a reference.

A worked example

“Which fields changed in the protocol between version 2.3 and 2.4?”

The changed fields with type and meaning, and a reference to exactly which spec versions were compared.

The material

  • The protocol spec's versions
  • Approval status per version
  • The change notes in the archive

You approve

Everything the colleague produces is a proposal with sources. Nothing is published, sent or saved to the archive without a human approving it, and every figure traces to its material.
