6. Heard from managers and colleagues
Dont worry about accuracy. Just clean it up and make it look
pretty.
I can probably write better than you, but I dont have time.
Why do you need a use case?
What youre doing is techie writing. Thats something with
PDFs.
You dont need to know that!
The problem with you is that you want to understand what
youre writing about.
7. Dont care what others think!

10. Why you should care
If others think youre a typist theyll never invite you when
discussing features, or give you the information you need.
If others think your job is easy and quick, youll never be
given the time you need, or extra headcounts for your team.
If people think you only have to write simple documents, you
wont be get budget for advanced authoring tools.
If others misunderstand your role, you will end up doing
irrelevant work.

What tasks do others think you should do?
How important do they think your work is?

16. Communicating to your managers and colleagues
is not the same as communicating to users!
17. The key is audience analysis the intention is different

product

product
Others at work

Want to be successful

not align with yours
