Question Log

What is a Question Log?

A question log is an implementation of a concept map that documents how an objective has been achieved.

How does a Question Log work?

A task defining an objective is placed at the center of a Question Log: Questions that emerge while completing the objective are added as edges to the Question Log.

Over time, this creates a graph with a high-level objective at the center and lower-level questions near the edges.

A question log is complete when the task's objective has been achieved: This documentation process leaves behind an organized flow of information demonstrating how the objective has been achieved.

Example

Here is an example of a question log.

to create a new text file.

A web browser is a popular application that loads a webpage
by parsing HTML, CSS, and JS files to a human-readable display.
So use a tool that lets you create HTML, CSS, and JS files
to develop a webpage...

A web browser is a popular application that loads a webpage
by parsing HTML, CSS, and JS files to a human-readable display.
