| Jul 23, 2014 at 0:50 | comment | added | Andrew Savinykh | Oh yeah, once after a three month break from work, I was asked on a job interview to describe my last project. I did it, but when they asked for details, I could not for the life of me remember them. They turned me down because apparently I'm a phony if I can't remember that. This happened about 15 years ago, but I still remember it. | |

| Jul 22, 2014 at 15:15 | comment | added | Lie Ryan | I use version control system to remind me what I did last time, and a bug tracker to find out what still need to be done. | |

| Jul 22, 2014 at 14:57 | comment | added | corsiKa | @ratchetfreak I was about to say "That's only useful for developers" until I realized that you can apply the same principle to anything. Most document repositories have a notes section or a description; deliverables over email have message bodies (often ignored). Documents can have tracked changes and annotations. There's a whole ecosystem of comments and commit messages in the PM world too! </epiphany> | |
| Jul 22, 2014 at 12:54 | comment | added | JeffO | Doesn't this really depend on how you were tracking the project in the first place? Should we assume you were doing everything from memory and no other documentation? | |
