The Product Is Docs

Meer over het boek

Revised and expanded in 2020, this book offers a comprehensive view on creating technical documentation in today's product development landscape. It comprises a collection of short essays that provide opinions and guidance, allowing readers to explore topics of interest selectively or read the entire work in any order. Information development is a complex discipline, and the authors draw from their direct experiences, sharing practical insights and practices used in their daily work. Whether you are an information developer, a documentation team manager, or part of a product development team collaborating with documentation, this book contains valuable information for you. It addresses the needs of technical writers in small, high-growth companies refining their processes, information-development managers in large enterprises facing complex product lines, and professionals in medium-sized companies tasked with doing more with fewer resources. Additionally, it offers perspectives for those outside the technical documentation realm seeking effective collaboration with documentation teams. The aim is to provoke discussion, illuminate unclear areas, and inspire colleagues to reevaluate their processes and assumptions. All proceeds from the sale will be donated to charity.
