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.
If utilized correctly, DCRs can be a very useful tool.
For example, at 2 of the last 3 companies I worked at,
people requesting changes to released documents were
required to obtain the various signoffs (Engineering,
Safety, QA, etc.) *before* the DCRs were routed to
Publications for implementation. All we had to do to
release the completed revision was add any additional
changes we made to update formats and such, then sign
off on our line and send it in the Doc Ctrl. Good
procedure can be your friend.
