We suggest you provide two different sets of training for different roles in the team: New or less experienced teammates who would ask more questions Seniors and managers who are usually the ones that answer questions 1. New or less experienced teammates: simply start with /kipwise Rule of thumb: always start with /kipwise [keyword] command whenever there is a question to ask. You either get the answer directly, which is the perfect case. If you cannot find the answer, submit a question after searching. This is an important step to improve the team knowledge base with new content and better search results for teammates in the future. 2. Seniors and managers: help the team to be more engaged The major benefit of Kipwise is to help managers and seniors spend less time answering repeated questions, which they should have more responsibilities to help maintain the knowledge base from daily conversations too. 1. Always save answers and important discussions to Kipwise when they happen on Slack. 2. Answer questions with existing Pages Always answer questions by posting the search results from Kipwise using /kipwise [keyword] in order to teach teammates to use /kipwise before asking questions in the future. Teammates will get used to searching before asking with more managers/seniors answering them with Kipwise content.
