I've just come across an ad for "The Practical Guide to People Friendly
Documentation" by Adrienne Escoe. ISBN 0-87389-212-7.
Has anyone read this one? Is it useful? Apparently, according to Amazon,
it is an update to "Nimble documentation; the practical guide for
world-class organizations."
The contents for this updated version include:
> Zero based documetation
> Streamlining success
> Heirarchy, Structure, Format and Style.
> Usability Testing
> Internationalization
> Electronic Documentation Mgmt
> Measure IMprovement and Customer Satisfaction
> Zero Defects, Cycle Time and Volume
> Qualityt Intiatives like ISO9000:2000, Balridge and Six Sigma
> Documetation Center for Excellence
I'd appreciate any input you might have. I'm considering buying this book
($50.00)
Thanks. Please cc me as I'm on Digest.
