The consequences of incorrect documentation can be great

Technical Writers guide users to their goal

They explain technical information to non-technical people

Technical Writers often have to put themselves in the position of the user

They need to address different types of users

They need to be as unambiguous as possible

They employ a variety of techniques to question Subject Matter Experts

They produce a form of user support that’s available all times of the day

Technical Writers provide clarity and simplicity

They organize information so it’s easier to find

Technical Writers reduce the need to call the Support desk

There have been many developments in creating documentation systems, with the assumption that the nature of the content - the tone of voice, the writing style - should remain essentially the same. We investigate whether the tried-and-tested technical communication writing styles from past decades still make sense today. We look at the reasons why some organisations, such as Facebook, Google & Mozilla, might be "breaking the rules" in the User Assistance they provide. We also look at how structured, adaptable, intelligent content becomes important for organisations that do decide to change.
