Re: Learning the Agile Technical Writing Environment

[John G <john -at- garisons -dot- com>]

I haven't seen a decent "How to" article about it ... maybe I'll turn it
into a presentation at some point though.

Here are my impressions after working in a quasi-agile environment for 6
years, and a strict agile environment for almost 2:

   - Attend the scrums/backlog reviews/reveals and SPEAK UP
   - Make sure your stories and tasks are on the sprint and backlog lists
   - Make sure that SME Review tasks are on the sprint/backlog lists
   - Be prepared to write things piecemeal as they are developed - get SME
   time as they are working on things, not afterwards
   - If your organization does releases/collections, assemble your pieces
   early

My 2¢
