Story
Inside PetSmart, documentation used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of the United States. Specialists and new hires needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
PetSmart uses Jira Service Management from Atlassian as the working layer for institutional knowledge. Atlassian provides work management and DevOps software, including Jira and Confluence, used by software and business teams. The practical change is simple: documentation has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What PetSmart gets from Atlassian is a durable place to run documentation and a way for specialists and new hires to see the same institutional knowledge at the same time.
