Case Study: Flex captures internal engineering knowledge and boosts developer productivity with Stack Overflow for Teams

Flex says goodbye to disorganized and inconsistent documentation, using one centralized hub

Flex, a period-product startup launched in 2016, struggled with inconsistent, disorganized documentation and multiple “sources of truth” that caused historical context to be lost as the engineering team scaled. To solve this, Flex adopted Stack Overflow for Teams to provide a private, interactive platform developers were already familiar with.

Using Stack Overflow for Teams, Flex centralized living documentation, required contractors to answer relevant questions on Teams before closing projects, and captured information that had previously been lost. Stack Overflow’s Teams platform delivered immediate, tangible benefits — organized, easily accessible knowledge, better coverage during staff absences, and a stronger foundation for future engineering productivity.
