Why does Command Media matter?

Command Media enables PSP to preserve organizational memory, transferring knowledge, skills, and information from one generation to the next. It is critical to our future as a team, and will allow us to build our skills over time, instead of loosing them. Every time you document something you have learned, you save someone hours of Googling and reading papers.
