Communicating Technical
Information
A good technical document isn't necessarily one that's well
written or highly polished: it's one that works. Often, the task
of writing technical documents falls to those whose main job is
not writing,yet nowhere are clarity, precision, and absolute
accuracy more important than when conveying technical
information. This two-day workshop will teach you how to
apply an effective process of planning,drafting, and editing to
create excellent technical documents of any length, from memo
to extended report. It will show you how to avoid common
pitfalls and to learn to think from the point of view of your
readers, whether they are clients, technicians, managers,
support staff, or users of software or networks. It will help you
feel more confident about communicating technical
information and reduce the number of readers who
misinterpret information or come back to you for clarification.
Audience

procedures, user guides, or proposals
