Technical writing involves taking information and rewriting it so that it is more accessible to an audience, advancing the goals of companies and organizations. It can include polices, procedures, processes, technical instructions, illustrations or training material.
The following examples illustrate the value of the products the technical writers produce and the services they provide:
- Policies, procedures, or processes. This provides people with new or updated information, making organizations more compliant and efficient.
- Functional specifications and proposals help speed up development cycles by reducing rework and risks associated with miscommunication.
- Training provides people with new and improved skills, making their organizations and products more efficient and safer.
