TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
My passion is utilizing data flow diagrams as the basis for organizing
highly end-user focused technical communications (including end-user
manuals, software requirements specifications, and training materials). I
don't always get to fully employ the power of data flow diagrams on a
project. However, when I able to do such:
* I have an excellent idea of what I am doing.
* I know exactly how I am doing it.
* I have an excellent idea of what the final output will look like.
* I have an excellent idea of where I will be when I am finished.

In this industry, if somebody tries to tell you that they know exactly
what they are doing, know exactly how they are doing it, know exactly
what they will have when they are finished, and know exactly where they be
be when they are finished, they are bluffing. Either that or
they are a real genius or have some secret they are not sharing.
