A brilliant knowledge management tool
Stack Overflow for Teams is used in my organization as a knowledge repository. It saves a lot of time as people can directly go and get their queries resolved by performing a search in Stack Overflow for Teams. The upvote function works great and for questions where answers are not readily available, the automatic notification for subject matter experts is a lifesaver.
- Knowledge Repository.
- Upvotes and Highlighting.
- Notification System.
- Text Formatting.
- Reordering of preferences.
- Searching for multiple tags in one query.

Great for large teams with dispersed knowledge
We use Stack Overflow for teams as a temporary documentation resource to avoid having to ask the same questions of the other members of the software team. This allows us to keep a record of decision points during the design and development process before things are finalized into documentation.
- Recording.
- Collaboration.
- Engagement.
- Organizing things can be difficult.
- Manage multiple questions and answer tags at once.

Collaborating made fun
Stack Overflow has been really helpful. It has helped the most in collaborating with other team members over product discussions. After using Stack Overflow for Teams, we had a single place where everyone posted their doubts and anyone from the engineering team who has the answer to it could come on the platform and answer the question or doubt. This way the question as well as the answer was transparent and publicly available and not sitting in someone's DM. The biggest relief it served was that now if you face any issue then before directly asking you can search it on Stack Overflow for teams and could find an answer there.
- We can add tags to questions. This helps in filtering similar types of questions. So when our organisation collected more than 200 - 300 questions, we filtered the questions and we could generate a report on what topics most questions are asked. Then the expert on that topic took one session and explained everything to others as well.
- Searching questions are pretty easy. We can either search using tags or using keywords. Hence if we got stuck anywhere while developing or brainstorming, we could quickly go to Stack Overflow and search if this question was already asked.
- Stack Overflow also shows points for individuals. This way we were able to identify the developer with most points and hence reward them for their contribution.
- More integrations can be added. For example integrations with ClickUp or JIRA to directly create a task from Stack Overflow.
- Points assigning algorithm could be better. If I am answering my own question, I used to get points, which ideally should not be the case.

Q&A is better than wiki
We use Stack Overflow for Teams as our main Q&A wiki. We use it to document internal libraries, processes, and common issues. In many cases, we write the questions already with the answer as a form of documentation. Sometimes it is used as the public Stack Overflow to get an answer from our internal community.
- Search for answers
- Ask a user/team specific question
- Give feedback for contributing a question or answer
- Suggest public answers to private questions
- Support for long-form documentation
- Lists sometimes act weird

Our surprisingly quick take on Stack Overflow for Teams
We are sharing the solution to common problems. We are asking common infra questions. We also have questions and answers for the local setup. This helps us resolve problems while onboarding. The knowledge here also helps us find quick solutions to small problems. It is easier to use and find what we are looking for than a wiki. The tags are very useful. The upvotes help us find the most useful posts faster.
- Sharing technical solutions to problems we encounter in our internal development environment.
- Sharing best practices we find in external resources.
- Discussions on design patterns and conventions we can use in our projects.
- A better code sharing environment would be better.
- Better integration with Github so we can easily link to code (with preview) and pull requests.
Stack Overflow for teams helps me complete my work and not have to leave the product I use most. It allows for cross-team collaboration in an instant. I can see a feed of all the different posts available and respond right in the app I use most. I enjoy this feature and would recommend it highly to other people.
- They do the live feed very well.
- Giving medals out for contribution increases collaboration.
- See a point system allows for a little friendly competition.
- I would recommend an increased engineering focus on the Microsoft Teams integration.
- It would be nice to make more medals.
- Easier ways to earn points.
We use Stack Overflow for Teams as an internal knowledge base, initially for some frequently asked questions in engineering, then we gradually started adding more content that was applicable to sales support/sales engineers. The search capability is excellent, along with the tagging, so it's super easy to get your eyes on the information you need almost instantly! Really helpful.
- Search
- User interface
- Tagging
- Clearly distinguish between question and answer
- Branding
- Custom subdomain
- SSO

Great knowledge management tool
We use Stack Overflow for Teams as a primary tool for knowledge management. As any company out there, we have devs more experienced devs and people who are just starting (in terms of our business know-how and in general coding too). So it is important to have a place in which newer devs can search and ask questions and also have this content preserved and searchable.
- Great search tool.
- Allow users to direct questions to specific people who they think can help.
- Most devs are familiar with the site, so it has a small learning curve.
- I don't like it when I'm searching in the company's private account and the search automatically goes to the public SO search, I would prefer to be asked if I want to search in the public SO.

Stack Overflow for teams; but really big teams
We tested Stack overflow for teams to organize our internal documentation. In the end, we noticed it was not the best tool for that job. But, it is great to generate a forum-like conversation among different team members; as well as to keep track of tips, best practices, etc. However, it is not very useful for small teams; for that case is easier to simply discuss these topics in person
- organizes questions and answers in an easy to read way
- Allows users to vote or downvote answers
- Allows to add comments that are not necessary an answer to the question
- Motivation: the tool works fine but we could not make our team use it on a daily basis
- Organization: after several questions have been created it is kind of hard to find the required information quickly
