Not if you have an in-house development team. In such a scenario, writers
can request their doc manager to assign them a single point of contact from
the *local* development team -- a product manager, an SME, a senior test
engineer, or a lead developer -- anyone who knows about the product inside
out, generally more than you do. Someone who is easily approachable for
project-related queries if required. If your development team is located
overseas, you have to rely on conference calls, emails, remote desktop
sharing, trainings, and other reference material on the Intranet.
