What is a Wiki?

  • A wiki is a place where multiple people can collaborate and contribute to the same piece of information. This information is kept current because anyone (either the people in a group or anyone in the company depending on where the wiki was made), can edit the wiki and make sure it is up to date.
  • Visually, a wiki can range from a simple text document to a rich media experience. An easy to navigate toolbar allows you a range of options - from text formatting to the inclusion of links, images and even external documents and video.

  • Wikis can be used for just about anything.  Any document or piece of information  that needs to be updated by one or more people can be a wiki – the possibilities are nearly endless!

    For example:
    • Planning Meeting Agendas/Meeting notes
    • Schedules
    • Project Management
    • Company or Department Documentation and Operation Manuals
    • FAQs
    • Event Coordination
    • Track Goals and Deadlines
    • Job Descriptions
    • IT Network Instructions
    • Onboarding – New Hire Information
    • Company/Product Best Practices
    • Department Knowledge Base
    • To Do and Check Lists
    • And so many more!
