Find, Scan, Read: A Structured Approach to Documentation Creation & Improvement
Wallacespace Spitalfields, 15 Artillery Lane, London, GB🔍 Many lone Technical Writers and Technical Documentation Managers are faced with a common challenge. They are either told to create a documentation set or asked to improve an existing documentation set. This is no easy task, which can be overwhelming.
In this talk, Gareth Brinn, Senior Technical Writer at Gravitee will talk about how he approached such a challenge. He will discuss how he structured his goals just like a user would approach reading his documentation. They have to find the documentation, scan the documentation, and then read the documentation. By following the same path as his reader, Gareth was able to create small, attainable goals that made big impacts to the documentation.
