Most of technical writers have experienced the problems of their work being "invisible" and even devalued against the more visible and business-valuable results of the work of development teams. This can demotivate technical writers. It can also lead to unpleasant situations when colleagues from other departments, having limited understanding of what technical writers do, come to you with out-of-profile or wrongly formulated tasks. This problem requires a complex solution, and one of the effective tools can be regular digests with news from your team.
In my presentation I'd like to tell you, using the example of our company's technical writing team, how digests can help with this. And also how to prepare for their launch, what advantages writing digests can bring to the team and how not to turn it into a pointless routine.
