I can understand why documentation can be an annoyance as well unnecessary to a certain extent. However, it is an integral step in preventing certain mishaps and keeping everything in accord. The main reason companies document things is to make sure they have everything noted in case the company is ever sued it has something to fall back on. One way to improve documentation is preventing repetition. One of the issues with so much documentation is that there is a lot of repetitive documentation. The forms can be streamlined and made easier to fill out.
