Project Management for Technical Writers

Do you need to deliver software projects that require
customer-facing documentation
? Would you like to learn how to make your documentation delivery successful and contribute efficiently to the goals of the development project?
As a technical writer, you often are expected to
organize and deliver large sets of information to the customer.
But everyone in the team has his or her own understanding of what is important for the customer. The development manager insists on documenting each and every little detail, the marketing manager wants you to focus on sharing success stories from the customers, while the editor thinks you should focus on improving the language quality of the documentation. Meanwhile, everybody on the team just wants to take a couple of days off!
Sounds familiar?! Somehow
all the expectations fall on you
, right?! 
                       "There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure."
                        -- Colin Powell
How can you balance all these conflicting requirements towards the documentation? How can you
ensure that the customer interest
is properly defended and you manage to really be the customer advocate?
Today everybody speaks about
project management, proper planning, and prioritization
. But the entire project management training and up-skill happens after days and months of training and applying what you have learned on the job. Not to mention the cost! Simply finding the time to learn project management can be an overwhelming experience that requires time and serious commitment.
