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.
All of the manuals I work on are for the same company, and must go
through the same publishing process, ending with the approval and
signature from the FAA. So, although I may be working on up to six or
eight manuals at a time, they all go through similar steps in the
process, which allows for an easily-formatted, easily-updated table of
projects and progress.
I have a dry erase board matrix that I use to keep track of all the
projects I'm working on, the priority level of each project, where each
is in the process, where each will go next, and the estimated time of
completion of each project. The nice thing is that not only does it
keep me organized, but my manager (who hates micromanaging but
sometimes must update his boss on my progress) can easily see what's
going on without having to find me.
