(1-10 of 10)A brilliant knowledge management tool
- Knowledge Repository.
- Upvotes and Highlighting.
- Notification System.
- Text Formatting.
- Reordering of preferences.
- Searching for multiple tags in one query.
Great for large teams with dispersed knowledge
- Recording.
- Collaboration.
- Engagement.
- Organizing things can be difficult.
- Manage multiple questions and answer tags at once.
Collaborating made fun
- We can add tags to questions. This helps in filtering similar types of questions. So when our organisation collected more than 200 - 300 questions, we filtered the questions and we could generate a report on what topics most questions are asked. Then the expert on that topic took one session and explained everything to others as well.
- Searching questions are pretty easy. We can either search using tags or using keywords. Hence if we got stuck anywhere while developing or brainstorming, we could quickly go to Stack Overflow and search if this question was already asked.
- Stack Overflow also shows points for individuals. This way we were able to identify the developer with most points and hence reward them for their contribution.
- More integrations can be added. For example integrations with ClickUp or JIRA to directly create a task from Stack Overflow.
- Points assigning algorithm could be better. If I am answering my own question, I used to get points, which ideally should not be the case.
Q&A is better than wiki
- Search for answers
- Ask a user/team specific question
- Give feedback for contributing a question or answer
- Suggest public answers to private questions
- Support for long-form documentation
- Lists sometimes act weird
Our surprisingly quick take on Stack Overflow for Teams
- Sharing technical solutions to problems we encounter in our internal development environment.
- Sharing best practices we find in external resources.
- Discussions on design patterns and conventions we can use in our projects.
- A better code sharing environment would be better.
- Better integration with Github so we can easily link to code (with preview) and pull requests.
- They do the live feed very well.
- Giving medals out for contribution increases collaboration.
- See a point system allows for a little friendly competition.
- I would recommend an increased engineering focus on the Microsoft Teams integration.
- It would be nice to make more medals.
- Easier ways to earn points.
- Search
- User interface
- Tagging
- Clearly distinguish between question and answer
- Branding
- Custom subdomain
- SSO
For a less appropriate use case - I can't really think of any, to be honest. If it's a knowledge base style product you're looking for, then Stack Overflow for Teams would definitely be something you should consider.
Great knowledge management tool
- Great search tool.
- Allow users to direct questions to specific people who they think can help.
- Most devs are familiar with the site, so it has a small learning curve.
- I don't like it when I'm searching in the company's private account and the search automatically goes to the public SO search, I would prefer to be asked if I want to search in the public SO.
Stack Overflow for teams; but really big teams
- organizes questions and answers in an easy to read way
- Allows users to vote or downvote answers
- Allows to add comments that are not necessary an answer to the question
- Motivation: the tool works fine but we could not make our team use it on a daily basis
- Organization: after several questions have been created it is kind of hard to find the required information quickly
Stack all of your knowledge in one easy to use place
- Search
- Aggregation
- Integration
- Automatic removal of irrelevant articles that are voted down
- Offer On-prem solution
- Native desktop and mobile app
