RE: Documentation Manager: does it always include managing a team ?

[Gordon Mclean <gordon -dot- mclean -at- mclarenkvisia -dot- com>]

Depends on the company. I joined my current company as a Technical
Publications Team Leader, with a team of... one! Me. It was a small company
who had plans to grow and I hired my first junior author about 4 months
later.

Same company, later on I became Technical Communications Manager. The
company was (pre-redundancies) 200 strong and I have 3 Technical Authors and
2 Trainers in my team. 

Typically, if I saw a job title of Documentation Manager I would presume it
involved the management of a team of writers.

The responsibility of the company's documentation may fall to the same
person.

HTH,

Gordon

By definition, does the position of Documentation Manager always include
the management of writers who work under the Documentation Manager?

Or, is a Documentation Manager also someone who is responsible for all a
company's documentation, yet does not have a staff of writers to manage?
