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.
Does anyone on the list have experience working in an environment that
uses UML? If so, I would appreciate it if you could share what you saw
as the pros and cons of such an environment and what you think a
technical writer has to know and do to succeed when working with UML
developmers.
I need this information ASAP. I am investigating an opportunity to work
as the technical writer for a department that is using UML. There might
be an opportunity to implement a knowledge management structure, as
documentation for code that is to be re-used also has to be written for
re-use. Do you all agree?
I would appreciate any information anyone would care to share.
Please send any information directly to me. If there is interest, I will
be happy to post a summary to the list.
TIA and best wishes to all.
