Oh, I have heard what everyone has, basically in
unison, been said. I just have a very hard time
understanding it. In order to create a structured
deliverable, you have to employ a fairly rigorous
structured process (specific steps and techniques). No
mystery here.
Yet what I hear is that structured writing is
"special": You can do pretty much do whatever floats
your boat and create a structured deliverable. This
is a true mystery to me. I was hoping to get an
explaination.
