Show notes at http://hellotechpros.com/ux-of-technical-documentation-george-mocharko/ What You Will Learn From This Episode People don't read the whole doc, they need an executive summary. Focus on the UX of technical documentation. Remember that they are consumed by people, not technology. Start thinking about doc from inception and include a tech writer role. Make sure the documentation is accessible when anyone picks it up. A documentation specialist's job is to capture, aggregate, sort and redistribute knowledge. Professionals think 9-5, M-F. It's not time management, its energy management. Cater to energy and communication styles.
