Using topic-based writing to meet aggressive deadlines
I was asked by the editor of TechCom Manager to submit an article about a rescue project that Intentional Design had done earlier in the year. This was a project where the client needed a tremendous amount of content produced within an extremely tight timeline, and in the classic situation, the software was still being tweaked until the last minute. Thanks to the efficiencies of topic-based writing, the project went well, and the client was pleased with the results.
The article was published in the August issue of TechCom Manager, where you can read about the project and the lessons learned.
