TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In JoAnn Hacko's Book Managing your Documentation Projects, in the chapter
about creating an Information Plan, she talks about asking the right people
the right questions to learn about the strategy, goals, and objectives of
whatever product you are writing about. She gives a list of sample
questions, but I was wondering if there were more that she didn't cover. I
was also wondering if anyone out there has had the experience of doing what
she suggests. If so, what questions did you ask? Who did you ask? Did you
have a list of questions, or did you ad-hoc it? How did it go? Did you find
it useful to get that information? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
