Everything we do has a trace of our character and personality. Have you ever thought of what your documentation can tell about you?
Choose the type of documentation you enjoy working on, and you will see who you are !
User guide (manual) — your main intention is to assist anyone who asks for your help. You are ready to explain everything using the most precise language. Your patience is limitless. Are you sure you are not a teacher?
Release notes — you are a tireless perfectionist. After the work is done, you are like saying: "Oh, my work was not perfect, so I've made some improvements."
Policies and procedures — you are highly pedantic about instructions. You have rules for everything. You have no unforeseen situations. Your every step has been predetermined by a special regulation document.
Requirements (market/user) — you are like a lawyer determining each party's rights, needs, and expectations. You are a master of establishing borders.
API documentation — you are a very practical person. You pick up just what is helpful and useful for you.
Reference manual — you are a real encyclopedia! You know everything. Facts are your treasure. Are you sure that it attracts people?
White paper — your main goal is to explain your position and engage the opponent in your train of thought, though you do not always succeed.
Sales materials — you are vivid, colorful, and attractive. People always surround you. But do they take you seriously?
Chatbot — you always know what to say to your opponent… to anyone… but you always say the same things… Are you sure you are a human being?
Proposal — you like showing your best sides and making a good first impression. Are you really that good, or are you hiding something?
So, who are you in the world of documentation?
