Which is more important?

Focusing on developing the best content is crucial because the primary goal in any documentation or modeling process is to ensure that the content effectively communicates the necessary information, meets stakeholder needs, and supports the requirements of the project. High-quality content enables clarity, reduces misunderstandings, and enhances the overall effectiveness of the documentation.

While following templates, adhering to IEEE specifications, and passing audits are important aspects of a structured approach to documentation, they are ultimately means to support the primary objective of creating valuable and meaningful content. If the content is not well-developed, the adherence to templates or specifications may not contribute significantly to the overall success of the documentation effort. Therefore, prioritizing content development ensures that the resulting documents are useful, relevant, and actionable for stakeholders.
