Funny you should mention this. I am often doing both at the same time (small companies, many hats), tracking the project
status of groups other than my own, reporting same to upper
management and sending out "you are this week's critical path"
reminders to various managers. I don't mind doing it at all,
especially if it's something the company and I have discussed
at the front end of our work together, because in addition to
making myself more "billable," it's also a sure-fire way of knowing exactly when a writer needs to start work on the
documents and where all the document milestones need to be set, and puts me in a prime position to bring about planning
changes.

"What does our Tech Writer do again? Can he be a Project Manager
instead? That's Billable!"
