At WordSmyths we interview the teams and the players involved in a Technical Communications (TechCom) project and then we quickly create an outline of topics. We define milestones and analyze dependencies and then we create a plan that allows team leaders to easily monitor progress and identify bottlenecks.
Important factors include the following:
- TechCom development tools
- Review cycles
- Milestones and deadlines
- Revision management
- Edits and quality control
- Approval process
- Project management tools
and processes
- Intended audience
- Deliverable type
- Deliverable portal
- Content access
- Branding
- Corporate standards and styles
- Agency restrictions
