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.
Sue Heim said she only needs a technical review and her boss want an
editorial review.
What would I do?
I would state my argument to my boss one time, and then do what my
boss wants. What the programmers provide is up the their boss. If
your boss is not the programmers boss, you may get what you want
anyway. When you deliver the review copies to the programmers, tell
them you understand how busy they are, that you will be needing
another review of the same (but revised) material later, and that you
appreciate whatever they can do now, even if it is only a technical
review.
