Knowledge Management?

Does anyone have a go-to knowledge management system for team collaboration, knowledge documentation and FAQ generation? 

I just read about the knowledge management system Stack Overflow for Teams' MS Teams integration and it made me curious how you all manage your knowledge, document and share external resources, and centralize internal Qs & As.

I've used Confluence in the past for documentation. It got a little confusing, so we also created an Asana board called "where to find everything"

Clients of mine are currently using:
  • Confluence (global CRO)
  • the wiki built into a paid Github account (startup)
There's something annoying about Confluence - and I can't put my finger on what it is exactly - but here's my take on the 2 above:

Jira + Confluence are the same company - you get the agile features + knowledge management but not code repo (everybody I know hates their Bitbucket product).

Github: Has code repo that everybody I know uses, plus it has the agile features like issues tracking, kanban boards, projects, and the wiki.

There's also Gitlab - a competing product to Github - that one client uses, but practically it's basically exactly like Github in terms of code repo - though I'm not sure if it has the agile features that Github has...so one client uses Gitlab+Confluence+Jira...

If I were choosing something myself - I'd stick with paid Github b/c it has the most features.

Josh,

I've attached is a summary of our internal meeting last week and the Response Partner spreadsheet we discussed..

Josh what DSTT partners could we reach out to, and what their contact information is? As you know we are working on an Opioid cluster alert project and need more information on how to choose cluster criteria (alerts, thresholds, etc). We are looking to replicate existing spikes to see what we can find with SaTScan.

Looking forward to meeting with you tomorrow.

Thanks for switching the meeting date/time to tomorrow at 2 pm for ½ hour.
