Publication Process

Successful technical writing and publication requires a solid process and expert technical writers who can anticipate your questions. Starting the process early, during feature development, helps users experience problems when they are less expensive to fix. If a writer struggles to document how to use an application, poor UX design could be the culprit. At F4, our technical writers are integrated with the development team and participate in every sprint. Writer integration catches issues in UX, testing, configuration, and deployment before large investments in implementation are made. The approach is advocated in our Shared Agility development methodology, which relies on execution transparency and team collaboration to identify issues before they can grow into costly problems. By applying Shared Agility to the technical writing process, writers have direct access to developers during coding, and key stakeholders provide feedback on technical drafts for efficient revisions.
