RE: "Technical Writing as a Part of User Experience"

["Cardimon, Craig" <ccardimon -at- M-S-G -dot- com>]

 I have learned the best way to approach this is to propose any fixes or adjustments as tasks in our project system. 

Then it is up to someone with a higher pay grade than mine to either ignore it or assign it to someone.

I have done my duty and my conscience can rest easy.

I tried for years to get developers to let me get involved with the UI - tool tips, wording on the control labels, etc. It always came down to defending their territory.
