Hi Wrlers,
By next Tuesday, I have to come up with some ideas for documenting a work process. (This is about how other departments at our company make requests for software enhancements, or report bugs, or other ad hoc requests. The process now is that they interrupt QA people and/or programmers and the squeakiest wheel gets the grease.) Our company is implementing an intranet tool that they will use to make the requests, with a back-end that we will use to see what's in the pipeline and manage it.
I'm not in QA and have very little experience documenting work processes (Help and install guides are my bag). Where do I start?
Thanks!
