So let them deal with it while aggressively focus on eliminating waste. That is my answer, sorry to disappoint you. :)

Oct 9, 2011 at 9:49	comment	added	DXM		while you provided good general advice, you have completely avoided the only question I'm trying to ask. Would you agree that on a typical team, there's a significant difference in skill/knowledge between engineers? If yes, would you agree that those engineers given the same task of writing a design document would produce very different results? If yes, would you agree that documents written by engineers with better communications skills, better design skills and better knowledge of the product would produce better documentation? My question is one the best approach to handle this gap.
