Technical Writing

User Guides

User Guides are often written for non-technical individuals. The level of content shifts for Administrators or basic users. The content for a functional user guide should be based upon the target user. The process incorporates four basic steps:

  • Identifying your audience.
  • Working SMEs to define the content.
  • Defining style and standards.
  • Determining the delivery format.

Installation Guides

There are typically five main components involved in creating a sucessful software installation guide:

  • System Requirements (or Prerequisites).
  • Overview of System or Product Features.
  • Minimal Quick Start Configuration.
  • Set-Up Configurations.
  • Maintenance, Error Messages and Troubleshooting.

Requirements

My process is to write test cases against the requirements before you cut a single line of code. Test cases crystallize your vision of the product’s behavior and can reveal omissions, and ambiguities. All statements must be:

  • Verifiably Correct
  • Feasible
  • Necessary
  • Prioritized
  • Unambiguous

Specifications

The specification is a number of straightforward statements, clearly outlining the nature of the project to be designed and released for consumption by users. The specification ideally should:

  • Be composed of simple, clear statements.
  • Refer to the research you have carried out.
  • Determine the final design of the product.
  • Be short and precise in statement.

About Jamie Heutmaker

Back Story

Jamie Heutmaker I grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota, where I attended Cretin, then Brady High School and then studied Geography, MIS and Computer Science at the University of MN.

After living for several years in San Clemente, California, I moved back to Minnesota in 2006, where I met my wife Wendy. We currently reside in Prior Lake, Minnesota with our two dogs and two cats.

I enjoy playing and watching live music, and I make an effort to get out to see my favorite bands when they come thourgh Minneapolis/St. Paul. I love good food, intelligent conversation and a good sense of humor.

Foreward

I plan to continue my work in Software Configuration Management and Release Management and also stay current with Best Practices in Quality Assurance and Project Management. My three greatest wishes are for:

  • Happiness.
  • Lifelong friends.
  • Catch a walleye in Prior Lake.
