Technical Writers: More Than Documentation Specialists
Technical writers provide considerable value to any project, beyond a documented set of instructions. While the product documentation is an integral part of a solution, technical writers also integrate into various team processes and provide feedback to improve the product itself. This approach keeps the user or customer in mind—technical writers advocate for their audience at every turn. This blog uses the technical writer’s role in software and cloud service development as an example of value that technical writers provide. This value extends further because role-based silos are breaking down: writers are included in the various stakeholder conversations more than ever.
