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.
By "scoping out" a software documentation project, I
mean determining the "extent of" the project.
(Note: This scoping needs to be done when the TW is
not creating documentation for an already developed
(i.e., scope already firmed) product - like for
requirements specs or test plans.)
