Audience, Market, Product: Tips for strategic API documentation planning¶
Description
API documentation can been grouped into four classes—Overviews, Tutorials, How-to topics, and References. Each addresses a different customer need and each requires different amounts of time and types of resources to produce. However, what happens on that fateful day you find that you have more documentation to write than time will allow? (As a technical writer, I call those weekdays). How can you prioritize which documentation type and how much of it should be written and which topics to write first?
This talk provides guidance and encouragement to technical writers to help them get the information they need to strategically get the right docs to the right people at the right time—and learn a little bit more about their stakeholders along the way.
