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.
As a tech comm student, I am compiling a "policies and procedures" manual for a small business--operating for 40 years. I have solid background info on this client; but, without direct access to any documents, how do I determine optimum outline headings and (or) content choices re: inventory? Note: The client has not implemented a business plan or any product/services/customer inventory, and he is seldom available for interviews.
If anyone has advice for content/collecting data, I would welcome it.
To give some context, I have included the following proposal item.
Project PurposeThe prospective business manual will (1) serve as a first step in organizing Spotless Cleaning and (2) echo philosophies and protocol that have shaped a successful business. The segments of your business likely to be documented include products and services, customers and inventory, and equipment and labor.
