Up to a point, I don't care how people communicate, as long as they do. Not everyone will like this (nor like doing it) - so don't force it - but let each person play to their strengths as much as possible. The good thing about this is it lasts. It's great evidence for your work, thought process, developing communication skills. It's easy to share, reproduce, reuse.

I've been in places where this would be a great deterrent for the endless meetings where slightly different groups of people need reassurance about the same things over and over again. Not that they're completely useless, but they're slow, low bandwidth and fatiguing. I wish some of those could have been replaced with a document like this.
