Today’s show teaches listeners about evergreen documents and the burden to keep these special docs current to remain efficient, comply with an evolving regulatory landscape, and maintain operational consistency. Hosts Daphne and Fred share their analysis of the article "Understanding Evergreen Documents" from the Curt Robbins & Associates Technical Writing Agency that was published on September 23, 2024. An excerpt from the article: "The evergreen status of a document does not mean that it is current. Think of evergreen as an opportunity based on updatability, if you will. Like evergreen trees may or may not be well manicured and free of invasive vines and dead limbs, evergreen documentation is an invitation to maintain accuracy—but in no way guarantees that such maintenance actually occurs."
