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.
Strategy is procedure expressed to a higher level of
abstraction. When I document strategy, I create a
data flow diagram (an abstract statement of procedure)
to capture the essential business goals and how those
goals interrelate. (Note: the interrelationships are
the litmus test as to completness of my understanding
of goals.)
I then use the diagram as the primary input to
creating text.
