Documentation Strategist

The role of a Documentation Project Manager is crucial for ensuring that all project documentation is accurate, complete, and meets the required standards.

1. Developing and executing a comprehensive Documentation Plan is essential to ensure that all project deliverables are documented correctly.
2. A Documentation Project Manager must identify and obtain adequate resources, including personnel, equipment, and technology, to support the development of high-quality documentation.
3. The target audience and their requirements must be clearly identified and understood by the Documentation Project Manager to ensure that the documentation meets their needs.
4. A Documentation Project Manager must define what constitutes 'high-quality' documentation and check for it consistently throughout the development process.
5. Usability testing is also a critical aspect of the role, as it ensures that the documentation is easy to use and understand.
6. A Documentation Project Manager must identify and minimize risk factors associated with the development of documentation, such as delays, budget overruns, or quality issues.

The 'Publications-Development Life Cycle' is a development process that has worked well for us. For more information on managing documentation projects, please refer to 'Managing Your Documentation Projects,' by JoAnn Hackos.
