Is RequiredYes

Steps

  1. Analyze User Guide Requirements (Optional):

    Use the scenarios, quality of service requirements, and user interface flow model and break out a table of contents for the User's Guide.

    Brainstorm the topics for the User's Guide table of contents.

    Create a writing task for each topic in the table of contents.
  2. Analyze Online Help (Optional):

    Use the scenarios, quality of service requirements, and user interface flow model and break out a topic list for online help.

    Create a writing task for each online help topic.
  3. Analyze Create Operator's Guide (Optional):

    Use the operational requirements, and user interface flow model to break out a table of contents for an Operator's Guide.

    Brainstorm a list of detailed topics for the Operator's Guide table of contents.

    Create a writing task for each operator's guide topic.
  4. Analyze Maintenance Manual (Optional):

    Use the functional requirements, user acceptance tests, security requirements, domain model, and user interface flow model to break out a table of contents for a maintenance manual. The audience for the maintenance manual is the team working on future iterations and releases of the product.

    Brainstorm a detailed topic list for the table of contents.

    Create a writing task for each topic in the table of contents.
  5. Analyze Training Manual (Optional):

    Use the scenarios, operational requirements, and user interface flow model to break out a table of contents for a training manual.

    Brainstorm a detailed list of topics for the training manual table of contents.

    Plan a writing task for each topic on the table of contents.
