*TITLE: Confessions of an ‘Enlightened’ Mind – Top 10 Mistakes to Avoid
when Starting a Help Project!*
*SHORT DESCRIPTION:* Join Maxwell Hoffmann, Adobe Technical Communication
Evangelist, and Neil Perlin, an Adobe Partner and an internationally
acclaimed Subject Matter Expert in online Help and documentation, for an
interactive webinar where they will discuss ten major commonly made
mistakes while starting Help projects, and how to avoid them. Neil will
examine technical and content controls needed to start a project on the
right track, and workflow and management controls needed to keep it there.
The goal is to create projects that are as technically correct, flexible,
manageable, and “future-proof” as possible.
Modern Help authoring tools like RoboHelp are powerful and feature-rich,
and provide great flexibility to online Help authors. But that power also
makes it possible to get a project off to a bad start. Some of the mistakes
are just silly, but others can lead to hiring the wrong author, developing
the wrong output, or just sending a project out of control in ways that
need expensive rework or cleanup later.
Authors made such mistakes in the past and got away with it. But today, as
new technologies, concepts (“multi-channel publishing”?), and terms appear
–– and time-to-market and ROI requirements continue to tighten, those
mistakes are increasingly unacceptable.
The presenter, Neil Perlin, is an internationally known consultant and
president of Hyper/Word Services. Neil is a 33-year veteran of tech comm, a
26-year veteran of hypertext, and a 21-year veteran of RoboHelp (who has
probably made all of those top 10 mistakes at one time or other).
