Today’s show teaches listeners the critical importance of practicing accuracy and completeness in their documentation and technical writing projects.
Hosts Daphne and Fred share their analysis of the article "Technical Writers Should Practice the Accurate & Complete Rule" from the Curt Robbins & Associates Technical Writing Agency that was published on August 21, 2024.
An excerpt from the article: "As technical writers, we all have a set of rules that we use to help guide and manage development of our important deliverables. You could call it a protocol. Yes, we all ring the bell of excellent client/employer satisfaction. But exactly how do we accomplish this?
"For me, I embrace (and discuss during interviews) something I call The Accurate & Complete Rule. When strategizing, researching, developing, editing, or proofing a technical writing deliverable, I always ask myself if it is accurate and complete (keep an eye out for our forthcoming article The Eight Pillars of Technical Writing in which we'll write about the pillars of superior enterprise technical writing; accuracy and completeness are two of these pillars)."
