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.
About 10 years ago, I was the only techwriter for a small software
developer. When my favorite project manager was asked for the status of
his project, the conversation went like this:
VP: Is ProductX ready to ship?
PM: Not quite.
VP: But Tester#1 said he finished the test plan at noon with no bugs.
PM: Yes, but I need at least one more day.
VP: Why?
PM: Gonna give it to Kat for a day. If she can't break it, we ship.
