Abstract:
Establishing a presence in a department that hasn’t had the benefit of technical writers can pose many challenges.
As a writer newly assigned to such a department, I
worked closely with my manager to develop the technical
writer’s role, presented the role to key staff and teams,
and created initial procedures to support writers within
the department. By performing these tasks and thinking
creatively about handling projects with a limited amount
of writers, we’ve been able to work constructively with
teams in our department and produce effective
documentation.
