How to Make Agile Work for Technical Writers Agile, scrums, backlogs, user
stories, sprints ... What's it all about? What do I need to know? And
what's in it for me? No two Agile implementations are the same â even
within the same company, different groups practice Agile in slightly
different ways. Regardless of the Agile realities at your organization, you
can learn to navigate murky waters, get the information you need, and
exploit Agile components to iteratively produce better, stronger, more
useful documentation to support your customers. Whether your organization
is considering a move to Agile or you're already up to your elbows in
backlogs and user stories, you'll learn some new perspectives, and leave
with a better understanding of how you can make Agile work for you as a
technical communicator.
