Documenting complex products or how to tame the dragon

Developing documentation for complex IT products for a technical writer is sometimes like taming a mythical dragon. It seems to be an impossible mission. But the task becomes achievable thanks to certain methods. 

In this presentation, we will discuss the methods that can be used to document a complex product. 

Let's reflect on how to study complex products and build good working relationships with experts to simplify information gathering. We'll see which tools can help you gather information on your own. 

Then we'll discuss how to cope with the huge amount of information and high pace of development and release documentation on time. We'll look at how to speed up the publication of updates in the reference books. 

The presentation is intended for technical writers who doubt whether it's worth going into a complex product. And for anyone who wants to know how many obstacles a technical writer needs to overcome on the way of documentation development.
