What Is Documentation Health?

Documentation health is a measure of how current, maintained, useful, and actively owned documentation is. It often considers freshness, stale content ratio, recent activity, contributor activity, and collaboration distribution.

Why Documentation Health Matters

Poor documentation health can create onboarding friction, operational risk, repeated questions, outdated runbooks, and knowledge gaps. Healthy documentation helps teams move faster with better shared context.
