One time I pitched the following idea to help manage the lifecycle of policies and procedures:
Create a git repository Write the policy in Markdown Changes to the policies are merge requests Policy approvers approve the merge requests That's it Writing Markdown doesn't require anything more elaborate than fucking Notepad. The GitLab instance was already there. It was just a matter of learning 3 git commands, if that. This was deemed too complicated, so they went with a Confluence add-on that was about $50,000 per year and did basically the equivalent of a Shields.io badge.
