everytime i build a documentation in i-doit i go on with the logical steps as in real live when i start to create new it-infrastructure. But that's just my way to start documentation ... like "go with the flow".

First at all: Coffee, cookies and brainstorming what kind of documentation, what granulation, which goal should be achieved?
That's soooo important to know.

Create ...

1. Locations, Buildings, ...
2. Floors (Level1, Level2, ...), Rooms
3. LAN-Ports in Rooms
4. LAN-Racks, Server-Racks, Patchfields, Power, ...
5. LAN-Equipment (UPS, Switches, Router, ...) **
6. Server, Storages, build Cluster ... (and connect them to xxx) **
7. Clients like PCs, NoteBooks, Smartphones, ... (and connect them to xxx) **
8. Printer, Scanner, conference-sysstems, .... (and connect them to xxx) **
9. User
10. Software **
11. Services, contracts, licences, contacts, ...
12. Other equipment like user defined things or non-IT things
13. uuh did i documentated the documentation-steps in wiki?
14. starting finework like user roles, add more and more contacts and manuals for trouble-shooting-situations, ...

From point 8 on ... it's jumping around.
Between every step i look back and check out: am i on the right way? Is it important? Good to know or involves it a lot of work and nothing else?

** All components with an ip-address are automatically created by discovery-tools like JDisc (Clients, Server, Switches, ...).
