API to E-commerce: Effective Documentation for Diverse Platforms

Table of Contents


Company Overview

The client is a tech company that wants to simplify system documentation and improve teamwork. They need clear documents for clients, their team, and technical work. In the future, they will focus on guides for APIs and SDKs.


Challenges They Faced:


1. Scattered Docs

Keeping track of public, internal, and product docs was a mess. They needed one spot to create, update, and manage it all.


2. Communication Gap

Developers needed crystal-clear requirements and criteria. Confusion and the communication gap were taking a lot of time.


3. One Role to Rule Them All

They needed one platform that combined Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Business Analyst.


4. Dynamic Requirements Gathering

They had to balance documenting the system they had and shaping fresh ideas with their team.


How We Solved It


1. We Gathered the Requirements

We held daily or weekly calls with the client to gather detailed needs. We also worked closely the Technical Lead to map and document the current system.

 


2. We Wrote Clear User Stories

Our team created simple, actionable user stories with precise acceptance criteria. This guided development and kept everything aligned with the client’s goals.

 


3. Delivered Comprehensive Documentation

We built and maintained clear, detailed documentation for everyone: public/client-facing, internal teams, and future API/SDK users.


4. We Made It Easy for Everyone
