I don't. Page count per work period is a terrible metric
for writer productivity because it tends to encourage
the creation of documents with higher page counts. I
measure writer productivity by the number and percentage of projects that meet project goals and are delivered on time to support product shipment. If that means a writer
figures out how to say everything that needs to be said with half the pages, that's icing on my cake.

Hi,
There are two queries:
1. How do you estimate the optimum number of pages
that a technical writer may write per day with all
information available using MS Word, RoboHelp, and
Framemaker so as to generate minimum re-work after
review?
2. Can u please let me know if there are any
standards, methods, links that provides u such
standard measurements or estimations to plan work for
your team?
