Re: Technical Writing in the Medical Device Industry

The point KAM made about recognizing others made me think: you've
walked into an organization that was already running. So, when it
comes to product lifecycles, what is there to do and who's doing it?
Where does your job description fit in? Map it all out (explicitly) to
see what's there. That should be a good start.
