Multi-Team Coordination

Team-based organization:

# INDEX.md


Product Teams

[ ] Product A Team — batch-pa-001 to batch-pa-050
[ ] Product B Team — batch-pb-001 to batch-pb-030
[ ] Platform Team — batch-plt-001 to batch-plt-020


Shared Services

[ ] Security Team — batch-sec-001 to batch-sec-010
[ ] Compliance Team — batch-comp-001 to batch-comp-015

Naming convention:

batch-[team-code]-[number]
Examples:

batch-pa-001 (Product A, batch 1)
batch-sec-005 (Security, batch 5)
batch-comp-002 (Compliance, batch 2)

Access Control and Permissions

Git-Based Permission Model

GitHub Enterprise:

# Using GitHub teams and CODEOWNERS


.github/CODEOWNERS
Global owners

@enterprise/doc-admins


Product-specific
/products/product-a/ @enterprise/product-a-team
/products/product-b/ @enterprise/product-b-team

Internal docs
/internal/policies/ @enterprise/policy-team @enterprise/legal
/internal/security/ @enterprise/security-team

Templates (require admin approval)
/templates/ @enterprise/doc-admins

Branch protection rules:

## Main Branch Protection

Require pull request reviews: 2 approvals
Require review from code owners: Yes
Dismiss stale reviews: Yes
Require status checks: All CI must pass
Require conversation resolution: Yes
Require signed commits: Yes
Include administrators: Yes

Compliance and Governance

Audit Trail

Complete history via Git:

# Who changed what, when, and why
git log --all --pretty=format:"%h %an %ad %s" --date=short


Changes to specific policy document
git log --follow -- internal/policies/data-retention-policy.md

All changes by specific author
git log --author="jane.doe@enterprise.com"

Changes in date range
git log --since="2024-01-01" --until="2024-12-31"

Compliance reporting:

#!/bin/bash
generate-compliance-report.sh


echo "Documentation Compliance Report"
echo "Generated: $(date)"
echo "=============================="
echo

echo "Policy Documents Updated (Last 90 Days):"
git log --since="90 days ago" --name-only --pretty=format: -- internal/policies/ | \
  sort -u | grep -v "^$"

echo
echo "Review Approvals:"
Extract approval data from PR merges
gh pr list --state merged --limit 100 --json number,title,reviews


echo
echo "Compliance Batches:"
grep "batch-comp-" INDEX.md

Document Lifecycle Management

Versioning aligned with compliance:

# Policy Version Control


Current Versions

Data Retention Policy: v3.2 (effective 2024-01-15)
Security Policy: v2.5 (effective 2024-03-01)
Privacy Policy: v4.0 (effective 2024-06-01)


Review Schedule

Annual review: All policies
Quarterly review: Security-critical policies
Ad-hoc review: Regulatory changes

Approval workflow:

## Policy Update Workflow



Draft created (technical writer)
Legal review (legal team)
Compliance review (compliance team)
Stakeholder review (affected teams)
Executive approval (VP level)
Publication (doc admin)
Communication (all staff)
Archival of previous version

Integration with Enterprise Systems

Single Sign-On (SSO)

GitHub Enterprise with SAML:

# Enterprise SSO configuration
Managed in GitHub Enterprise settings


Authentication:
  Provider: Okta/Azure AD/OneLogin
  SAML SSO: Enabled
  Two-Factor: Required
  Session timeout: 8 hours

GitLab with LDAP:

# config/gitlab.yml
ldap:
  enabled: true
  servers:
    main:
      label: 'Corporate LDAP'
      host: 'ldap.enterprise.com'
      port: 636
      encryption: 'simple_tls'
      base: 'ou=people,dc=enterprise,dc=com'

CI/CD Integration

Enterprise Jenkins pipeline:

// Jenkinsfile
pipeline {
    agent any


stages {
        stage('Quality Checks') {
            steps {
                sh 'markdownlint batch-/.md'
                sh 'cspell "batch-/.md"'
                sh './scripts/validate-compliance.sh'
            }
        }

stage('Security Scan') {
            steps {
                sh './scripts/scan-for-secrets.sh'
                sh 'git-secrets --scan'
            }
        }

stage('Build Documentation') {
            steps {
                sh 'hugo --minify'
            }
        }

stage('Deploy to Internal Portal') {
            when {
                branch 'main'
            }
            steps {
                sh './scripts/deploy-to-sharepoint.sh'
            }
        }
    }

post {
        failure {
            emailext(
                to: 'doc-team@enterprise.com',
                subject: "Documentation Build Failed: ${env.JOB_NAME}",
                body: "Build ${env.BUILD_NUMBER} failed. Check console output."
            )
        }
    }
}

Knowledge Management Integration

Export to Confluence:

#!/bin/bash
sync-to-confluence.sh


Convert markdown to Confluence storage format
for file in batch-/.md; do
  pandoc "$file" -t confluence -o "${file%.md}.confluence"

# Upload via Confluence API
  curl -u "$CONFLUENCE_USER:$CONFLUENCE_TOKEN" \
    -X PUT \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @"${file%.md}.confluence" \
    "https://confluence.enterprise.com/rest/api/content/$PAGE_ID"
done

Sync to SharePoint:

# sync-to-sharepoint.ps1


Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://enterprise.sharepoint.com/sites/docs"

Upload markdown files
Get-ChildItem -Path "batch-" -Filter ".md" -Recurse | ForEach-Object {
    Add-PnPFile -Path $_.FullName -Folder "Shared Documents/Documentation"
}

Enterprise-Scale Best Practices

Centralized Template Governance

Template approval process:

## Template Change Workflow



Propose change (any team member)


Create issue describing need
Provide example/mockup



Review by Doc Standards Committee


Monthly meeting
Evaluate impact
Approve/reject/modify



Implementation (doc admin)


Update template
Version bump
Announce to all teams



Rollout


New batches use new template
Existing batches optional migration
Support period for questions

Template versioning:

templates/
├── v1/
│   ├── api-template.md
│   └── guide-template.md
├── v2/
│   ├── api-template.md
│   └── guide-template.md
└── current/ (symlink to v2)

Multi-Region Coordination
