Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Documentation first, not afterthought debris
Every sprint delivers code and clarity
While teammates build the towers, I'm the scribe
Recording every blueprint, every vibe
The manual grows beside the infrastructure
Each commit a dual-natured architecture

[Chorus]
Write as you build, build as you write
Documentation flowing through each milestone night
Runbooks that serve both ops and compliance sight
Dual-purpose artifacts burning bright
Templates guide us, baselines anchor tight
Configuration management keeps it right

[Verse 2]
Design documents with numbered revisions
Test procedures mapping all decisions
Deviation justifications clearly stated
Meeting minutes formally updated
Version control for every single page
Traceability through each development stage

[Chorus]
Write as you build, build as you write
Documentation flowing through each milestone night
Runbooks that serve both ops and compliance sight
Dual-purpose artifacts burning bright
Templates guide us, baselines anchor tight
Configuration management keeps it right

[Bridge]
Formal baselines freeze at every gate
Document numbering eliminates debate
Revision histories tell the complete tale
Operational wisdom that will never fail
Evidence packages ready for review
Compliance officers know what we do

[Verse 3]
Templates standardize our documentation flow
Design patterns that auditors will know
Runbooks double as compliance evidence
Operational procedures with reverence
Configuration managed, controlled and tracked
First-class deliverable, that's a fact

[Chorus]
Write as you build, build as you write
Documentation flowing through each milestone night
Runbooks that serve both ops and compliance sight
Dual-purpose artifacts burning bright
Templates guide us, baselines anchor tight
Configuration management keeps it right

[Outro]
Documentation strategy crystallized
Infrastructure wisdom organized
Every sprint produces living text
Operational excellence comes next
