Re: writing functional specs?
hi,
does anyone out there have to write functional specs as part of their job?
i have never done it myself, but people at my company may think its my job
soon... so i thought i'd poll people to find out what other tech writers
out there are doing wrt specs.
usually, engineering groups write all the design specs. then i take info
from the specs to do my work. are there advantages/disadvantages to taking
on this type of work?
Juli,
Do you have an Engineering degree? What is your competence in the subject matter? What kind of support will you have from the people whose job it is to define the functional specifications? Do you use some system such as Rational?
In other words, it sounds from the little info that you have given us as though you are being sold up the river.
