TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Hard to say without knowing the scope, tools, skillset of the writers,
experience, and product being documented. Can you simply figure the same
costs as writing the book, plus tool and training costs for the writers, as
needed, and consulting costs, if appropriate. Then, multiply by your
engineering constant . . . what, 1.687?
I have been asked to prepare an expenditure estimate for a
forthcoming
online Help project. I haven't done such an exercise before and
don't have
the faintest idea of how to go about the same. Can somebody help me
out?
