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 department (Tech Pubs/Training Development) has been charged with
developing a set of productivity metrics to be used for both individual and
department evaluation and planning. I'm pretty underwhelmed with most of the
material I have found researching this issue.
Does anyone know of a good model or have any experience with this area? I'm
particularly concerned about validity of any numbers we are able to develop.
Thanks
