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.
I am looking for help in how you prioritize projects.
Our department has more projects than we can handle. This includes Help
files, user documentation, and database design. The ideal solution, of
course, would be to hire more writers. Unfortunately, that's not an option
right now. In the meantime, I am interested in knowing how you prioritize
projects, especially if "no, thank you" is not an alternative. Someone
suggested we assign points based on various factors such as number of users,
requested completion date, type of documentation, etc.
If you would like, you may respond to me privately and I will summarize for
the list. Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
