TECHNICAL
WRITING
Technical Writing describes the marriage of literary talent with technology. In most markets today, products are becoming more sophisticated and their range of capabilities is expanding at a phenomenal pace. This rate of advancement, however, often outpaces the skill development of the intended customer or user, thus creating a need to describe this increasingly powerful functionality in terms and formats that are readily understood by the user. Technical writing, as we see it, is a collaborative effort between developer and author. Together they
::: Perform a user-based needs assessment to understand documentation
requirements.
::: Collect relevant product specifications and other source information.
::: "Test drive" the product (where applicable) to get the true user perspective.
::: Develop support documentation including instructions and help files in accordance
with agreed style guides.
::: Produce final deliverables in multiple media and multiple languages.
Technical writing can be a time-consuming and costly effort. Yet poor documentation can lead to even higher product support costs or worse, it can impede the rate of adoption and use of your products due to their perceived complexity.
