One for all, all for one
Improve the visibility of everyone’s role in the overall production process.
Think content and features
Your product is a mix of features and content. A good feature is also a well-explained feature, it supports and guides the user. By designing both at the same time, you put the user first.
Anticipate content
Truly agile processes allow for great cooperation between content specialists and developers.
Both have to work together to understand where embedding user help would be useful, and how this help impacts the user’s perpection of the product.
Design user support
Technical writers are used to working with silos, but only because they are usually only called upon once the development phase is over.
When they work using the same version planning as developers, they can create a content strategy that enhances the user experience instead of just describing features.
