In many organizations, people who develop training work in an entirely different group from those who develop documentation. The two groups may develop information about the same subjects and barely realize it. While there has always been potential for the two to work more collaboratively, in today’s economy there is increasing need to find ways to collaborate across these teams, to share resources, and to reuse information. This talk looks at the potential for reuse between documentation and training, points out some of the problems that get in the way, and proposes some strategies for improved collaboration. Discussion points include: * What types of information are the best candidates for reuse * Must you reuse, or can you repurpose? * Difficulties when training is a revenue center and documentation is a cost center * How to reframe the picture of documentation and training to increase opportunities for reuse * What the DITA Learning and Training Specialization offers ]]>
