The document provides recommendations for using RoboHelp effectively in an agile documentation environment.
Stern - Enhancing the Customer Experience Using Dynamic Content Filters LavaCon
This document discusses dynamic content filters, which allow users to dynamically filter technical documentation content based on factors like region, user level, or product version. Dynamic content filters give users access to all available information but let the user control what they see by changing the filter criteria. They provide benefits over traditional conditional tags by offering more control and flexibility to the end user. The document explains how dynamic content filters work, when to use them, and their potential limitations.
Localization -WritePoint & Net TranslatorsPaula Stern
This joint presentation was given at the Techshoret Communicators Conference in Jerusalem by Paula Stern of WritePoint and David Sommer of Net Translators.
Companies that don’t prioritize developers’ needs are falling behind. As more developers are tasked with vetting and selecting SaaS providers, organizations need to reciprocate with attention and support at every level. Committing to a developer-first lifestyle won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it.
Establishing a developer-first culture does not happen overnight. It can require an overhaul in the way a company operates in order to champion developers as its core users. As the Head of Developer Experience at Galileo, Egan Anderson has spearheaded the company’s efforts to re-invent the way it interacts with developers. Galileo recently opened up its suite of APIs for external use. The process has not been frictionless – Anderson has navigated the challenging dynamic of balancing the needs of developers with the inevitable internal inertia that’s often resistant to change. However, advocating for developers and facilitating these discussions has helped Galileo grow into a more successful and profitable business.
The document outlines an agenda for an event at Inflectra Corporation about internship opportunities. It includes details about mingling, a presentation on Inflectra and internships, a group chat about switching to coding, and pizza. It then provides information about Inflectra's history, products, customers, and tools. The latter part discusses the internship program in more detail, including aims to develop skills and confidence, see how a software firm works, and build experience. Potential interns are encouraged to contact Inflectra with code samples and availability.
Most of us are not going to change the world. Don’t let that stop you. You can still change the way APIs are created in your community, and reap the benefits of the spec-first design approach. Be the hero your community needs and your APIs deserve.
Imagine a place where a lone technical writer is creating API specs by hand, from scratch, for a bunch of existing APIs. A place where developers don’t know if an API exists at all because there’s no documentation for it. Where product owners design new APIs in a single Excel spreadsheet.
Places like that exist; maybe you’ve experienced something similar first-hand. Perhaps you thought to yourself, “I wish I could turn this place around”. And you can. You’re not “just a technical writer” - your perspective, insight, and skills are crucial for not just documenting, but also designing and developing usable APIs.
In this talk, you will hear some ideas for what technical writers can do to make their job documenting APIs easier and collaboration with stakeholders stronger. We will look at the benefits of the spec-first approach, strategies for implementing it, and challenges you may encounter. A real-world example of building a spec-first API culture within a company will illustrate how long it took, what worked (and what didn’t), and where improvement is still needed.
The goal is to equip technical writers with advice and motivation to start influencing API design decisions in their community. Documentarians represent the voice of the user to a great extent, but this voice is not always heard. Luckily, it’s not too late to change that.

Enterprise^2 going agile - Siemens Manufacturing Software Case Study - Yael B...AgileSparks
Siemens PLM, an enterprise organization with enterprise customers made a decision to go agile.
Lessons we learnt and changes that we made two years into our agile journey.
The document discusses measuring documentation success through defining goals, metrics, and iterating based on measurements. It encourages describing goals for different document types in a way that is countable and measurable, like the number of downloads or questions answered. The key takeaways are to collaboratively define success metrics, measure and analyze performance, then revise documentation goals and processes based on the results.
This document discusses a Rapid Application Design Sprint (RADS) process for developing applications. The RADS involves defining requirements, empathizing with users, ideating solutions, prototyping ideas, and testing prototypes with users. It is most effective when used early in an application's development when requirements are known but the design direction is unvalidated. The RADS brings everyone together to share ideas and roadblocks, and quickly prototype and validate ideas with users.
Agile environments can be both challenging and rewarding places for technical writers. Appropriate documentation is essential to the efficient production, testing, and acceptance of software. One way to be Agile with documentation to evolve it in parallel with the system development — delivering user stories, use cases, UI designs, system tests, manuals, and even online help — with just enough detail, and just in time. Come and explore some ways that you can be Agile with your documentation. This presentation isn't intended to provide a silver bullet solution, but it may give you some ideas beyond those famous (infamous?) 3x5 index cards.
From 1 RPM to 1,000 RPM - succeeding in a software-defined economy - Sacha La...JAXLondon_Conference
The document discusses how software development practices have evolved over time through innovations like Agile, Scrum, and continuous integration/delivery. While these improved aspects like quality and flexibility, the document argues they did not fully realize the potential of bringing development practices to the business as a whole. It advocates applying concepts like continuous delivery, automation, and fast iteration across entire businesses to better meet customer needs. The document provides steps companies can take to embrace these new approaches, starting with proofs of concept and growing iteratively. It positions software developers as ideally equipped to drive this change and its business benefits.
Content needs to be written differently when you primary delivery is on smart phones or tablets. Shorter sentence structure and reduced word count, as well as principles from SEO are recommended.
Unfortunately, most of us don't write this way; we write until we fill up a laptop or computer screen. Also, our eyes can "remember" more on a sheet of paper or large screen than we can in transient "thumb fuls" of smart phone paragraphs.
Try the exercises developed by Maxwell Hoffmann of Adobe, and you will be surprised at how easy it is to "think different / write diffe

The technical communication industry is witnessing a few major trends today…which are changing the way content is both created and consumed universally.There are 6 KEY TRENDS driving today’s technical communication world.The first and foremost industry trend is the conspicuous “Movement from Unstructured to Structured Authoring: DITA and Topic Based Authoring”.This is primarily driven by the cost pressures faced by organizations in translating the technical content in to multiple languages. As globalization of the world economy continues to open up new markets in emerging countries, the technical documentation also needs to be localized in as many new languages. This puts huge stress on a firm’s localization budget, if the firm is not following TOPIC-BASED STRUCTURED AUTHORING.Today, innumerable companies are moving from unstructured to structured authoring chiefly for cost-effective efficiency. With DITA and topic based authoring, appropriate metadata and tags are used, allowing several benefits: content is easier to reuse and manage later and repetitive tasks can be automated. This means that today’s technical communication tools need to allow users the flexibility to author standards-compliant content, as is the case with Adobe FrameMaker which has full support for DITA and other XML standards.
The 2nd key industry trend is the unequivocal need for tools with “Multi-Screen, Multi-Channel Publishing” capabilities.917 million smartphones will be sold globally in 2014, according to IDC: http://www.statista.com/statistics/12865/forecast-for-sales-of-smartphones-worldwide/ Apple forecast to sell 102M iPads, 194M iPhones in 2013: http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/10/29/apple-forecast-to-sell-102m-ipads-194m-iphones-in-2013 Estimated 29 billion people will be using the internet by end of 2015…a growth of 672% from 2000 numbers: http://www.c-i-a.com/internetusersexec.htmToday, people want content to be available to them on their multimedia handheld devices, so that they can consume content ANYWHERE ANYTIME.With the infiltration of multimedia devices and digital gadgets in our modern lives, publishers are always looking for means to take their content to the ubiquitous mobiles, eBook readers, tablet PCs, etc. Hence, today’s technical communication toolkits need to have the flexibility to push technical content out to the plethora of advanced hand-held devices for “true’ ANYTIME ANYWHERE consumption.
The 3rd key industry trend is the pressing need to make today’s technical content “Easily Searchable and Personalized.”Today’s users are specialists in the kind of content they need to consume. No one wants to be presented with the whole universe of technical content, every time he or she needs to refer to a particular area/topic of interest. Hence, the need of the hour is to “personalize” content based on user roles/functional needs, and continually optimize the content based on usage pattern analytics.Also, today’s users don’t have time to look for the specific piece of information that they need in a hurry. Hence, the content needs to be made easily and quickly searchable by the end user. The authoring tools need to offer the right capabilities to create such highly responsive Help systems and Knowledgebases.
The 4th trend is the increasing demand for “Rich Media” in today’s technical communication.As the attention span of today’s consumers decreases rapidly, they no longer want to sheaf through pages of TEXTUAL content to uncover the exact piece of information they need. Hence, they demand higher interactivity and dynamism in the technical content they are consuming. Content that is visually appealing and easily consumable is what they are looking for.In earlier days, it used to be that only the training deliverables would include video, animation or simulations.But now these types of asset are appearing directly in Help and support knowledgebases, especially when it is easier to watch a procedure than to read about it. This is even more important when you are communicating to a world wide audience.Since there is a trend to single source Help and user documentation, incorporating rich interactive media is making its way into traditional documentation content.3D is an asset type which has always required special viewers, separate from the mainstream tools and players. But with Acrobat 3D and Adobe PDF, live 3D models can now be delivered in PDF, which still happens to be the most popular format for technical documentation.This is also driven by the fact that today’s users have a plethora of multi-media hand-held devices in which they can readily consume interactive content.
The 5th key industry trend is the “Democratization of Content Creation”.With radical developments in the electronic field, and with Web 2.0, the world of today’s users has grown exponentially more interactive, and technical communication has to match this to keep up.In today’s world, content is not created by a stand-alone author. Rather, a team of authors, SMEs, engineers, service specialists, even end-users all come together to contribute content meaningfully.The need of the hour is to offer solutions that facilitate seamless author-to-author, author-to-SME, author-to-user and user-to-user collaboration.Also, the role of today’s technical writer has changed from being a “CONTENT CREATOR” to becoming a “KNOWLEDGE CURATOR”. Today, the traditional “technical writer” has to wear many hats.Technical writerTechnical trainerInformation architectUser experience designerUsability expertUser interface designerTechnical translatorTechnical illustratorNew technologies and new business requirements are driving changes in the content that is authored and delivered.Traditionally, roles in the technical communication process were separate.Subject matter experts (typically engineers) would draft content and provide edits using their preferred tools like –email and word processors.Technical writers producing user manuals, policies and procedure etc., would work with the subject matter experts, and import content from the experts or create it from scratch. Their tools would normally be dedicated to their workflow – tools like Adobe FrameMaker.A separate set of technical writers would work on the embedded Help content, using tools designed for their purposes, such as RoboHelp. Even if those writers were the same as those producing the other technical documents, they would often be using different tools and they would not be sharing much content between their various authoring environments.And finally the training or eLearning department would take input from both the subject matter experts and the tech writers, and they would use tools designed for their purposes, such as PowerPoint or Adobe Captivate.But these boundaries and work processes are breaking down.With tools like Adobe FrameMaker, it becomes more efficient for subject matter experts to use the same tools as the technical writers. This is especially the case if XML is being introduced.Also PDF-based review and markup is a lot more efficient than the paper-based review. The bottom line is that the tools and types of output produced by the subject matter experts and the technical writers are become more and more alike.You can reduce the cost of producing Help and training content if they are both created from a single source. Especially if the content can be carefully structured using XML to enable variations in Help and documentation to be handled automatically. In cases where software development is moving from desktop to the web (and where the “application” is as much about the content as the features), it makes sense for subject matter experts to be using Adobe RoboHelp to directly create content. So what we are seeing are both the user communities and the tools sets used beginning to converge between the Help producers and the document producers.To produce engaging, interactive and dynamic content, the training team (often referred to as “eLearning”) started off using specialized tools that were not used outside of their department. But as content from the other user groups were delivered electronically and as a ubiquitous platforms for delivering that content are now established (i.e. PDF and Flash), we’ve seen these specialized tools being adopted by the other technical communicators. For example, “how to” demonstrations developed with Adobe Captivate are being added to Help content. Meanwhile you have this drive to reduce costs forcing the eLearning department to look hard at reusing content, rather than rewriting it for their own presentation.The takeaway is that the tools used by distinct users and department are becoming more and more alike.
