A Technical Documentation Consultant does exactly what the definition states, with focus on developing technical documentation. Developing documentation is not “intuitive”, nor can it be successful when left until the end of the project. It needs to be planned, resourced, executed, and managed. And, it must be compatible with the available schedule, budget, resources, and your technical design.
What could a Technical Documentation Consultant do for you?
Analyze your project and recommend the best document types for your system.
Determine an estimated level of effort (LOE) and the needed resources to complete it.
Recommend a workflow for creating and maintaining your documents including review cycles and version control.
Give your documentation processes a critical eye and make suggestions for improvement.
