A P1 ticket sits before anyone notices it's close to breaching. A config change goes out and three days later nobody can say for sure who signed off on it.

Too Much Documentation Is Hurting Your Team

Everyone says "just write it up" — but too much documentation just creates sprawl, not clarity. Docs pile up, nobody maintains them, and a page last touched 8 years ago doesn't count as current.
