Getting Started with Agile for Technical Writers
· 5 min read
How can technical writers use Agile in software development projects?
As this question, and variations of it, have popped up on Reddit and LinkedIn, I thought I'd share a few observations about my experience of working with Agile/Scrum as a tech writer.
One thing to say before we start, is that just became a company says it's Agile, doesn't mean it's applying all of the framework. Rather, they may be selectively picking pieces of it, such as using Daily Stand Ups, but not fully embracing the spirit of Agile development. In many cases, they're probably 'Agilefall' (Agile + Waterfall).
