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 have searched in the archives and Googled, so I know ITIL is the IT
Infrastructure Library, but I would like to hear how this standard
affects your work as a tech writer. (I could not find any references to
it in the TECHWR-L archives.) Do you adhere to ITIL in your company? Why
does your company use it and how?
This is not only directed at Rosie, but everyone else as well."
Here our IS department used ITIL to help standardize processes
throughout all IS. We don't adhere to it as much as we have used it as
a framework to develop all our processes.
The way it affects my work as a technical writer is that it provides
process to the entire department I work in. The post you quoted was in
regards to Requirements writing. I also document processes and
procedures for the entire IS department. Understanding the various
frameworks we are working with provides me the context in which to place
not only the documentation I create (terminology, assumptions, etc.) but
also how to interact to obtain the results I want (quality
documentation, customer satisfaction).
