Keep It SimpleStreamline your documentation
to make it more effective
Scott NesbittPartner, DMN Communications
Keep it simple
Are we giving users the help they need, in the way they need it?
1.0 + 2.0 = 1.5?
Go minimal
Ditch the manual
Don't be afraid to cut
Start at the front
Think outside the ToC
Think in terms of topics
Docs as conversation,
literally
Write tightly
Sometimes, more is better
People are looking for advanced tips and tricks. They're not looking for the basics. They're looking for things that will give them more of an edge. Tim O'Reilly
