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.
My team of seven technical writers has just finished a 10-piece
documentation suite. We are looking for strategies for evaluating the
effectiveness of the package externally - most likely by our customers.
Some options are:
1. Circulate an evaluation questionnaire
2. Conduct phone interviews
3. Conduct document usability tests
4. ?
Does anyone have experience with this they can share? What do you
recommend?
Does anyone have a sample questionnaire they've used effectively in the
past?
