Project Overview
Custom software lacks comprehensive documentation, creating challenges in understanding code functionality, business rules, and database structures. To address this, we aim to hire a technical writer to document the software systematically. This documentation will include technical/white papers for designated code modules, processes, business rules, table structures, and data dictionaries.
